Arise

This is (obviously) the title track of John Burland‘s album Arise. It is another collaboration with Gary Pinto, and is in a P&W mode, yet could be great for the Easter season or for Baptism and Confirmation.

The sheet music costs only $A15 for the whole collection and can be purchased at his website.

For assembly use I’d bring this down from E to D at least.

My backing is a little different to Burland’s arrangement:

Arise, arise see the glory of the Lord.
Arise, arise for the light of the world.

1 The Light has come to us shining bright,
and the glory of the Lord lights up the night.
Arise, behold the Lord has come us,
Arise and know the glory of the Lord.

Chorus
Arise, arise see the glory of the Lord,
Arise, arise for the light of the world.

Arise, arise see the glory of the Lord
Arise, arise for the light of the world.

2 Faith has made you whole precious child,
God’s favour is upon the meek and mild.
A witness to God’s presence you will be,
to a world that’s crying out for love and mercy.

Chorus
