A READING FROM THE PROPHET ISAIAH
(FIRST READER ONLY)

ARISE, SHINE; FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME,/

THE GLORY OF GOD HAS RISEN UPON YOU./

FOR DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH,/

AND THICK DARKNESS, THE PEOPLES;/

BUT THE MOST HIGH WILL ARISE UPON YOU./

NATIONS SHALL COME TO YOUR LIGHT,/

AND RULERS TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR RISING./

THEN YOU SHALL SEE AND BE RADIANT,/

YOUR HEART SHALL THRILL AND REJOICE,/

A MULTITUDE OF CAMELS SHALL COVER YOU,/

THEY SHALL BRING GOLD AND FRANKINCENSE,/

AND SHALL PROCLAIM THE PRAISE OF GOD./
