— The story behind the song —
Praise from sunrise to sunset
Alan Wang wrote the words of “From the Rising Sun” from Psalm 113, especially verse 3: “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.”
Psalm 113 opens with a call to the servants of the Lord, repeating the word hallelu, “praise!”, three times in its first verse. It is the first of the Hallel psalms (113–118), traditionally sung at Passover. The song follows the psalm’s path: the Lord is high above all nations, yet He stoops down to look on heaven and earth. He lifts the poor from the dust, seats the needy with princes, and gives the childless woman a home.
That is the heart of the song: the God who is enthroned on high is the same God who bends low in love. So His praise is not for one moment or one place. It runs from the first light of morning to the last light of evening.
