Arise, shine, for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.
For behold, darkness covers the land;
Deep gloom enshrouds the people.
But over you the Lord will rise,
and his glory will appear upon you.
Nations will stream to your light
and kings to the brightness of your dawning.
Your gates will always be open;
By day or night they never will be shut.
They will call you the City of the Lord,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Violence will no more be heard in your land,
ruin or destruction within your borders.
You will call your walls, Salvation.
And all your portals, Praise.
The sun will no more be your light by day,
By night you will not need the brightness of the moon.
The Lord will be your everlasting light,
And your God will be your glory.
