Arise, O God! Your Cause Defend! — Don Fortner

(Tune: #44 — And Can It Be? — LM)

1. O for a heart to seek You, Lord, encouraged by Your blessed Word,

To see You high upon Your throne, and glory in my God alone!

Arise, O God! Your cause defend. Deliverance to Zion send!

2. O Holy Spirit, come today, reveal my Savior unto me,

Finding myself in Him complete, and sitting humbly at His feet!

Arise, O God! Your cause defend. Deliverance to Zion send!

3. My deadness fills my heart with grief. Lord, send Your servant sweet relief.

My soul revive, my strength renew. Blest Savior, set my heart on You!

Arise, O God! Your cause defend. Deliverance to Zion send!

4. Arise, O Lord, my soul defend, pour out Your grace, sweet mercy send!

O Sun of Righteousness, my Light, arise and put darkness to flight!

Arise, O God! Your cause defend. Deliverance to Zion send!
