Arise, Come Ye Forth

Arise, come ye forth, and forever break the chain,

That long had oppressed you with sorrow and pain;

Arise, come ye forth, hear the blessèd Lord's command,

And He Himself will guide you with a strong, strong hand.

Refrain

Come forth, come forth, and shout the jubilee,

Come forth, come forth, the Lord will make you free;

Come forth from your bonds, hear the blessèd Lord's command,

And He Himself will guide you with a strong, strong hand.

Arise, come ye forth; will ye spend your life for naught,

When Jesus Who loves you a ransom has bought?

The price of His blood, O receive it while you may;

Behold the promised time is now; O come away.

Refrain

Arise, come ye forth, and be slaves to sin no more,

How oft your Deliv'rer has called you before;

Come forth from your bonds, and your liberty receive,

Your willing hearts to Jesus give; repent, believe.
