Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: And they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called: Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world. Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that published peace and salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth. Break forth into joy. Hallelujah.
