Text: paraphrased for my wife Jen, and my sons Danny and Patrick Composed in memory of my daugher, Cecilia Kathryn "Lily Kate" Powell August 30, 2007 - August 17, 2017
The voice of my lover, behold He comes! "Arise, arise, arise my love!"
The winter is past and the rains are gone "Arise, arise, arise my love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" He calls, "arise and come my love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" He calls, "arise and come my love!"
The flowers appear and the singing bursts forth! "Arise, arise, arise my love!" The turtle dove calls; the fox lends its voice. "Arise, arise, arise my love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" He calls, "arise and come my love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" He calls, "arise and come my love!"
My lover is mine and I am His! "Arise, arise, arise my love!" His flock finds their pasture where Lily now lives! "Arise, arise, arise my love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" He calls, "arise and come my love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" He calls, "arise and come my love!"
Lord, banish the shadows and let the sun rise! Arise, arise, arise my Love!" Cross the vast darkness 'tween earth and the skies! Arise, arise, arise my Love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" we call, "arise and come my Love!"
"Arise, arise, arise!" we call, "arise and come my Love!"
