Antiphon: Sion sing, break into song! For within you is The Lord with his saving pow’r. Rise and shine forth, for your light has come, And upon you beaks the glory of the Lord; For the darkness covers the earth; And the thick clouds, the people.
2. But upon you the Lord shall dawn, And in you his splendour shall be revealed; Your light shall guide the Gentiles on their path, And kings shall walk in you brightness.
3. Wonder and thanksgiving shall fill your heart, As the wealth of nations enriches you; You shall be called the city of the Lord, Dear to the Holy one of Israel.
4. You who were desolate and alone, A place unvisited by men, Shall be the pride of ages untold, And everlasting joy to the nations.
5. No more shall the sun be your light by day, Nor the moon’s beam enlighten you by night; The Lord shall be your everlasting light, And your God shall be your glory.
6. No more for you the setting of suns, No more the waning of moons; The Lord shall be your everlasting light, And the days of your mourning shall come to an end.
