Lyrics
RISE UP MY LOVE
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
That whosoever believes
In Him should not perish
This is the Lord, we have waited for Him
We will be glad and rejoice
In His salvation!
He will swallow up death in victory
And the Lord God shall wipe away tears
From off all faces
And the rebuke of His people
He shall take away from off all the earth
For the Lord hath spoken it!
And it shall be said in that day
"Lo! This is our God
We have waited for Him
And He will save us
This is the Lord, we have waited for Him
We will be glad and rejoice
In His Salvation!"
For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven
With a shout, with the voice of the archangel
And the trumpet of God
And the dead in Christ shall be first to rise
Then we which are alive and remain
Shall be caught up together
To meet the Lord in the air!
Rise up my love. My fair one, come away
For Lo! The winter is past
The rain is over and gone
The flowers appear on the earth
The time of the singing of birds has come
The voice of the turtledove is heard
In our land!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Glory Hallelujah!
