15th World Assembly, 2026

Theme Song for the 15th World Assembly

25th-29th August 2026 - Auckland, New Zealand

Arise, Shine

Arise, shine. Arise.

Arise, shine. Arise.

Arise, arise, arise,

Arise and shine, arise and shine.

Arise and shine, arise and shine.

Arise and shine, arise and shine.

Arise, for the light has come.

Arise, for the light has come.

 

See darkness covers the earth,

And thick darkness is over the peoples,

But the Lord rises upon you,

And His glory appears over you.

 

Nations will come to your light,

And kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Arise and shine, arise.

 

Nations will come to your light,

And kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Arise and shine, arise.

 

And the glory of the Lord

Rises upon you.

And the glory of the Lord

Rises upon you.

 

Humambo hwaShe hwaoneka,

Kwamurimose.

(Humambo hwaShe hwaoneka,

Kwamurimose.)

 

Arise and shine, arise and shine.

Arise and shine, arise and shine.

Arise, for the light has come.

 

Amen!
