Arise, shine, O Zion, for thy light is come - Williams, Aaron

♪

""Anthem proper for Christmas Day" from Royal Harmony, London, c.1765. The original source (which appears considerably more error free than that used for CPDL #25106) does not prescribe accompaniment; the piece is unfigured, and is described as for "country choirs" (i.e. predominantly organless). Reductions (both editions) are editorial and should be used for practice purposes only."

Arise, shine, O Zion, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Sing O heavens and be joyful, for behold I bring you glad tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord. Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Hallelujah Amen.
