ISAIAH 60:1, 2.

By S. M. Cobb

BY ELDER S. M. COBB.
ARISE, O arise now, ye daughters of Zion! Shine forth in the darkness the splendors of day. Effulgent the light is that shines now upon thee; Arise, and shine forth then, no longer delay.
The bright beaming rays of the Day-star shine o'er thee, Superb for its beauties and brightness untold; Thy pathway is lighted, thy prospects now brighten, For soon we will reach the fair city of gold.
Arise, then, O Zion? Can you refuse longer To shine forth the rays of the truth for this time, This duty incumbent on all who profess it, To herald the message to every clime?
For behold the whole earth is in darkness enfolded, And darkness still grosser the people enshrouds; But the Lord shall arise, and upon thee his glory Dispels all thy darkness, and scatters the clouds.
The bright gilded rays of the morn dawn upon thee, While others are sleeping in darkness of night; Then shine forth the brightness reflected from Jesus. Arouse and awake thee and all will be right.
