The Season of Lights

Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

See, darkness covers the earth

and thick darkness is over the peoples,

but the LORD rises upon you

and his glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

I am the light of life.
Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness
but have the light of life.

In the same way, let your light shine before others,

that they may see your good deeds and

glorify your Father in heaven.

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

I came that they may have life,

and have it more abundantly.

Immanu El — With us, God!
