Hymn Lyrics
Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and his glory will be seen upon you.
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Violence shall no more be heard in your land, ruin or destruction within your borders.
The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you by night.
For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God
will be your glory.

Gracious God we thank you for your gift of love. We thank you for coming to us in Jesus and for the life you grant us through his birth and his life and through his death and his resurrection. Help us to love and serve him both now and evermore. Amen.
