Arise from your slumber Oh joy of my soul The sorrow you're under Has no power to hold Awaken oh sleeper Oh heart find the truth That we have an anchor No wave can remove Arise from the shackles O soul you are free Though evil surrounds You are guarded by peace The oath of my father Won't wither or fade The cross is my shelter My refuge and strength I'll dance in the darkness And sing through the night I won't fear the wind or the waves My hope is an anchor of joy For I know that a great celebration awaits Arise from your sorrow Lift up your head The sun that was risen Will come back again All the sadness will fade Like the night to the morn As Saints lift their praise On the day of the Lord I'll dance in the darkness And sing through the night I won't fear the wind or the waves My hope is an anchor of joy For I know that a great celebration awaits Won't it be wonderful there Having no burdens to bear Joyfully singing, praise will be ringing Won't it be wonderful there Won't it be wonderful there Having no burdens to bear Joyfully singing, praise will be ringing Won't it be wonderful there Won't it be wonderful there Won't it be wonderful there I'll dance in the darkness And sing through the night I won't fear the wind or the waves My hope is an anchor of joy For I know that a great celebration awaits I'll dance in the darkness And sing through the night I won't fear the wind or the waves My hope is an anchor of joy For I know that a great celebration awaits My hope is an anchor of joy For I know that a great celebration awaits
