Lord –
There will be no more gloom nor anguish. Our former time held contempt. Our latter time will be made glorious.
For Your light has shined on us.
Walking and living in deep darkness, we have seen Your great light…a light that breaks our burdens’ yokes, our shoulders’ bars, and our oppressors’ rods.
Multiply our exultation. Increase our joy.
Rejoicing before You, we pray.
Amen.
