Original text and translations

English text

Arise, shine O Zion;
for thy light is come;
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
Behold, the darkness shall cover the Earth,
and gross darkness the people:
but the Lord shall arise upon thee,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee,
The Gentiles shall come to thy Light,
and Kings to the brightness of thy rising.
The Sun shall be no more thy light by day;
neither for brightness shall the Moon give light unto thee:
but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light,
and thy God thy glory.
I will greatly rejoyce in the Lord,
my Soul shall be joyfull in my God;
I will greatly rejoyce, be joyfull in my God.
For he hath clothed me with the garments of Salvation,
he hath cover'd me with the Robe of Righteousness.
