Isaiah

Isaiah 60:1–3

1Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

2For behold, darkness covers the earth,

and thick darkness is over the peoples;

but the LORD will rise upon you,

and His glory will appear over you.

3Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
