Stanza 1
Rise up, saints, raise a song to your King:
He whose scepter holds sway ever vast,
To whom centuries are brief as a day,
The First and the Last.
Refrain
For the Father and the Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
We are gathered, off'ring praise
To the Ancient of Days.
Stanza 2
Lay aside earthly treasures and woes;
Come partake of the grace freely shared
That the Giver of every good gift
Has, for us, prepared.
Stanza 3
Now to His Kingdom not of this world
He will keep His beloved Bride true,
Till with one voice we saints sing her song
When all is made new.
