Phrases
P1. Originally Military. rise and shine: to wake up and get out of bed promptly. Usually in imperative. [Probably ultimately an allusion to Isaiah 60:1 ‘Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen vpon thee’ (King James Bible), echoes of which in the form ‘rise and shine’ are commonplace in 19th-cent. religious writings, although in the military use there may also be allusion to the rising of the sun or to the shining of boots.]
