Arise, All Souls, Arise
VERSE 1
Arise,
all souls, arise! The watch is past;
A glory
breaks above the cloud at last.
There
comes a rushing mighty wind again!
The
breath of God is still the life of men;
The day
ascending fills the waiting skies,
All
souls, arise!
VERSE 2
It comes
the breath of God through all the skies!
To live,
to breathe with Him, all souls, arise!
Open the
windows toward the shining East;
Call in
the guests, and spread a wider feast,
The Lord
pours forth as sacramental wine
His
breath divine!
VERSE 3
It comes
a larger life, a deeper breath;
Arise,
all souls, arise, and conquer death!
Spread
forth the feast, the dew and manna fall
And angels
whisper, “Drink ye of it all;
Drink of
His truth, and feed upon His love,
With
saints above!”
VERSE 4
Arise,
all souls, arise, to meet your Guest!
His
light flames from the East unto the West.
The Lord
of earth and Heaven is at the door,
He comes
to break His bread to all His poor;
Arise
and serve with Him, His moment flies;
All
souls arise!
