<strong>All</strong> <strong>My</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>This</strong> <strong>Night</strong> <strong>Rejoices</strong><br />
Epiphany<br />
Rise, O Salem, Rise And Shine<br />
Johann von Rist, 1655<br />

Rise,<br />
O Salem, rise <strong>and</strong> shine!<br />
Lo! the Gentiles hail thy waking;<br />
Herald <strong>of</strong> a morn divine,<br />
See the dayspring o'er us breaking,<br />
Telling God has call'd to mind<br />
Those who long in darkness pined.<br />
Ah, how blindly did we stray,<br />
Ere this sun our earth had brightened,<br />
Heaven we sought not, for no ray<br />
Had our 'wilder'd eyes enlighten'd!<br />
<strong>All</strong> our looks were earthward bent,<br />
<strong>All</strong> our strength on earth was spent.<br />
But, the day-spring from on high<br />
Hath arisen with beams unclouded,<br />
And we all before it fly<br />
<strong>All</strong> the heavy gloom that shrouded<br />
<strong>This</strong> sad earth, where sin <strong>and</strong> woe<br />
Seem'd to reign o'er all below.<br />
Thy appearing, Lord, shall fill<br />
<strong>All</strong> my thoughts in sorrow's hour;<br />
Thy appearing, Lord, shall still<br />
<strong>All</strong> my dread <strong>of</strong> death's dark power;<br />
Whether joy or tears be mine,<br />
Through them still Thy light shall shine.<br />
