Isaiah 60:1-6 (NRSV)
Epiphany
of Our Lord Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and
the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
For darkness shall cover the
earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the LORD will arise upon
you,
and his glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your
light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Lift up your eyes
and look around;
they all gather together, they come to you;
your
sons shall come from far away,
and your daughters shall be carried on
their nurses' arms.
Then you shall see and be radiant;
your heart
shall thrill and rejoice,
because the abundance of the sea shall be brought
to you,
the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
A multitude
of camels shall cover you,
the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall proclaim the praise of the LORD.
