Antiphon: Sion sing, break into song! For within you is\nThe Lord with his saving pow’r.\nRise and shine forth, for your light has come,\nAnd upon you beaks the glory of the Lord;\nFor the darkness covers the earth;\nAnd the thick clouds, the people.\n2. But upon you the Lord shall dawn,\nAnd in you his splendour shall be revealed;\nYour light shall guide the Gentiles on their path,\nAnd kings shall walk in you brightness.\n3. Wonder and thanksgiving shall fill your heart,\nAs the wealth of nations enriches you;\nYou shall be called the city of the Lord,\nDear to the Holy one of Israel.\n4. You who were desolate and alone,\nA place unvisited by men,\nShall be the pride of ages untold,\nAnd everlasting joy to the nations.\n5. No more shall the sun be your light by day,\nNor the moon’s beam enlighten you by night;\nThe Lord shall be your everlasting light,\nAnd your God shall be your glory.\n6. No more for you the setting of suns,\nNo more the waning of moons;\nThe Lord shall be your everlasting light,\nAnd the days of your mourning shall come to an end.
