1/3 Thou shall arise oh Lord my God
And have mercy upon Zion
For the time to favour Zion
Yea, the set time has come
Thou shall arise oh Lord my God
And have mercy on Nigeria
For the time to favour our land
Yea, the set time has come
Thou shall arise oh Lord my God
And have mercy upon my life
For the time to favour my life
Yea, the set time has come
Chorus
When the Lord shall rise
To build up Zion
The Lord shall appear
In all of His Glory
When the Lord shall rise
To build Nigeria
The Lord shall appear
In all of His Glory
2/3 For Thy servant takes pleasure Lord
in all the stones of Mount Zion
And favour all the dust thereof
For the sake of Thy Name
Chorus
When the Lord shall rise
To build up Zion
The Lord shall appear
In all of His Glory
3/3 So the heathen shall fear the Name
Of Jehovah the Most High God
And all the kings of the whole earth
shall give You the Glory
Chorus
When the Lord shall rise
To build up Zion
The Lord shall appear
In all of His Glory.
