Isaiah 60:1

¹⁴Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

⁸For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

^12[+] Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world.He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

¹Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you. ²Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!

¹⁹The sun will be no more your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. ²⁰Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.

⁸Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.

⁴⁶I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

¹⁶Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

²But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out and leap like calves of the stall.

⁷⁸because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the dawn from on high will visit us, ⁷⁹to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
