C/E            C             F            Am
Oh I saw a distant land, and its glory was so grand
            F          C/E        G
I cried oh Lord how I long to be there
        F                C/E             F                 C               F             G
Then I heard His gentle voice, “come my child, it is your choice” Oh such hope that I’d never heard before

[Chorus]
    Am            F            C                 G           Am               F     Dm     G
Oh arise, let us run, for the morning light has come And the darkness of the night flies away
       F              C/E          F           C           Am  F     G             C
He has risen, He has come, and our home He has won Let His glory be seen on you today

[Verse 2]

         C/E                  C             F              Am               F         C/E          G
Then the way grew dark with care, my heart trembled in despair I turned my eyes to my Lord with a prayer
             F             C/E           F                C             F           G                C
Through the dimness of the dawn, deeper truth then I was drawn Oh such hope, even brighter than before!

[Verse 3]
        C/E            C             F                 Am
There a lonely soul I saw, standing near but yet withdrawn
            F           C/E              G
I bade him come to the land bright and fair
             F             C/E          F                 C           F            G              C
With hope's glimmer in his eye, to the darkness said goodbye Then we sang, a note higher than before!
