Biography:
Irish composers and artists Keith & Kristyn Getty are on a mission to revive the art of hymnody for a new generation.
“We believe in creating modern hymns for two reasons,” Keith explains. “First, they can teach us our faith in a fuller way through what they sing, and secondly, we want to attempt to create a more ‘timeless’ art form—music that people of every generation can sing now, and perhaps at best, can last throughout their lifetimes—art that transcends time and generation.”

[Intro]
D5 Dm7 G/D Gm/D (2x)
[Verse 1]
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
O church, arise and put your armor on;
D/F# G Asus D
Hear the call of Christ our captain;
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
For now the weak can say that they are strong
D/F# G Asus D
In the strength that God has given.
G A
With shield of faith and belt of truth
D5 G/B A/C#
We'll stand against the devil's lies;
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!"
D/F# G Asus D
Reaching out to those in darkness.
[Instrumental]
D5 Dm7 G/D Gm/D
[Verse 2]
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
Our call to war, to love the captive soul,
D/F# G Asus D
But to rage against the captor;
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
D/F# G Asus D
We will fight with faith and valor.
G A
When faced with trials on ev'ry side,
D5 G/B A/C#
We know the outcome is secure,
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
And Christ will have the prize for which He died—
D/F# G Asus D
An inheritance of nations.
[Chorus]
A G D
Arise, shine for Your light has come

Arise shine for the Risen Son
Bm D/A G Dm7/F#
Lift Your eyes, we are His radient bride
Em Asus D5
Arise O Church arise
[Verse 3]
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,
D/F# G Asus D
As the Son of God is stricken;
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
D/F# G Asus D
For the Conqueror has risen!
G A
And as the stone is rolled away,
D5 G/B A/C#
And Christ emerges from the grave,
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
This vict'ry march continues till the day
D/F# G Asus D
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.
[Chorus]
A G D

Give grace for ev'ry hurdle,
Gm/D D5 G/B A/C#
That we may run with faith to win the prize
D/F# G Asus D
Of a servant good and faithful.
G A
As saints of old still line the way,

Retelling triumphs of His grace,

We hear their calls and hunger for the day

WHen with Christ we stand in glory
