The thing is I don't have any context... So perhaps I should have asked differently - is there any context that would suit these sentences?

I investigated this topic further and have come up with two ideas. Based on this http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/sunrise?q=sunrise the word sunrise has two meanings and maybe we could use them in these contexts:
1) Wake up!
1) Wake up!

Your sentences 1 and 2 are correct.
"Sunrise" meaning "the time when the sun appears to rise" does not take an article.
"Sunrise" meaning "the pretty sight when the sky changes colors" does take an article.
Sunrise is at 7:02 tomorrow morning.
You've never truly seen a sunrise until you've seen one from Cadillac Mountain.
