Isaiah 60:2

God's presenceHope

1 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.

3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

4 Lift up your eyes and look around: They all gather and come to you; your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried on the arm.
