102 - Isaiah 60
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)
