Arise up my love by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
1. Arise up, my fair one, arise,
Come away, come away, come away!
No longer the wintry storms darken the skies,
Come away, come away, come away!
The flowers all bright in the meadows appear,
The voice of the singers delighteth the ear,
And the note of the turtledove echoeth near,
Come away, come away, come away!
Refrain:
Hark! the loving voice of Jesus,
Comforting the church, His Bride,
After every trial ended,
From each error purified!
2. The fig tree puts forth her green fruit thro' the dale,

About Arise up my love
Hart Pease Danks sets a biblical text with a rich, engaging melody. The SATB choir is called upon to deliver a message of spiritual awakening and divine reassurance. The music opens with a flowing, evocative quality, mirroring the lyrical imagery of spring and renewal. The text speaks of the end of hardship and the arrival of joy, drawing parallels to the love between Christ and His Church, His Bride. The refrain powerfully declares the comfort and peace offered by Jesus after trials have passed, and impurities have been purged. This anthem offers a message of hope and steadfast love, suitable for a choir seeking a piece with both profound meaning and musical warmth.
