15 A SONG OF THE NEW JERUSALEM
| |||
| Refrain: | Nations will come to your light,* and kings to your dawning brightness. | ||
| 1 |
Arise, shine out, for your light has come,* the glory of the Lord is rising upon you. | ||
| 2 |
Though night still covers the earth,* and darkness the peoples; | ||
| 3 |
Above you the Holy One arises,* and above you God’s glory appears. | ||
| 4 |
The nations will come to your light,* and kings to your dawning brightness. | ||
| 5 |
Your gates will lie open continually;* shut neither by day nor by night. | ||
| 6 |
The sound of violence shall be heard no longer in your land,* or ruin and devastation within your borders. | ||
| 7 |
You will call your walls, Salvation,* and your gates, Praise. | ||
| 8 |
No more will the sun give you daylight,* nor moonlight shine upon you; | ||
| 9 |
But the Lord will be your everlasting light,* your God will be your splendour. | ||
| 10 |
For you shall be called the city of God,* the dwelling of the Holy One of Israel. | ||
| |||
|
Nations will come to your light,* and kings to your dawning brightness. | |||
