Arise, shine out, your light has come

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: AM2013 #93 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Arise, shine out, your light has come, unfolding City of our dreams. On distant hills a glory gleams: the new creation has begun. 2 Above earth's valleys, thick with night, high on your walls the dawn appears, and history shall dry its tears, as nations stream towards your light. 3 From walls surpassing time and space, unnumbered gates, like open hands, shall gather gifts from all the lands, and welcome all the human race. 4 The sounds of violence shall cease as dwellings of salvation rise to sparkle in eternal skies from avenues of praise and peace. 5 The dancing air shall glow with light and sun and moon give up their place when Love shines out of every face: our Good, our Glory, our Delight.

As royal banners are unfurled

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) Hymnal: AM2013 #176 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled, the cross displays its mystery: the Maker of our flesh, in flesh, impaled and hanging helplessly. 2 Already deeply wounded: see his side now riven by a spear, and all our sins are swept away by blood and water flowing here. 3 See everything the prophets wrote fulfilled in its totality, and tell the nations of the world our God is reigning from the tree. 4 This tree, ablaze with royal light and with the blood-red robe it wears, is hallowed and embellished by the weight of holiness it bears. 5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms have gauged the price of wickedness; but, hanging here, his love outweighs hell's unforgiving bitterness. 6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice, is, through his dying, glorified; his life is overcome by death and leaps up, sweeping death aside. 7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope: God's passion set in time and space, by which our guilt is blotted out, engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen.
