#265 "Arise, O God, and Shine"

This is another new and wonderful missionary-themed hymn in the 1985 hymnal.  I have notes in my personal hymnal to use the words of "An Angel From on High" (Hymn #13) and "Rejoice, the Lord Is King" (Hymn #66).  It works very well to both!  I like the tune of this hymn.  It seems very majestic.  I think I first started to like it when I heard it sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  They have a very nice arrangement of "Arise, O God, and Shine".  Our ward doesn't seem to be very familiar with it, but as long as I keep scheduling it, they will soon be more assure of themselves when they sing it.
