102 - Isaiah 60

Posted in Song Book

          Refrain:

          Arise, shine out, for your light has come
          The glory of Yahweh is rising on you
          Though night still covers the earth
          And darkness the peoples above you
          Yahweh now rises above you
          His glory appears arise.

          Verses:

      1. The nations come to your light
          And Kings to your dawning brightness
          Singing the praise of Yahweh
          Bringing gold and incense
          Lift your eyes and look around you
          All are assembling and coming toward you
          Your sons from far way and your daughters
          Being tenderly carried this day.                  (Refrain)

      2. They bring your sons from far away,
          And their silver and gold with them
          For the Name of Yahweh, your God
          The Holy One of Israel
          No more shall violence be heard in your country
          Nor devastation within your frontiers
          You will call your walls “Salvation”
          And your gates “Praise.”                            (Refrain)

      3. No more will the Sun give you daylight
          Nor moonlight shine on you
          But Yahweh will be your eternal light
          Your God will be your splendor
          Your sun will set no more
          Nor your moon wane
          But Yahweh will be your eternal light
          And your days of mourning
          Will pass from your sight.                           (Refrain)
