May your Glory arise.

 May Your Glory Arise

May Your glory arise upon us, Lord—

Not as a distant, blinding light too bright to see,

But as the morning sun that warms the waking tree.

Let Your presence rise like dawn over the hill,

Let Your glory shine, and let our spirits fill.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. (Isaiah 60:1)

May Your glory arise in the darkest place,

Where shadows linger and fears embrace.

Let the weight of Your majesty break through the night,

And turn our mourning into morning light.

May Your glory arise over every chain,

Over every doubt, over every pain.

Where the enemy has held us long and low,

Let Your glory rise, and let the captives go.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Habakkuk 2:14)

May Your glory arise in our words and deeds,

In the smallest acts that plant the smallest seeds.

Let not our lives obscure, but reflect Your face,

And let Your glory find in us a dwelling place.

May Your glory arise till the whole world sees

The King of kings, the Lord of all degrees.

From the rising of the sun to its going down,

Let Your glory arise, and let praise abound.

Let the glory of the Lord endure forever; let the Lord rejoice in His works. (Psalm 104:31)

Arise, O Lord, and let Your glory be

The light that sets our captive spirits free.

May Your glory arise—now and always—

Through all our nights and all our days.

Amen.
