Refrain:
AllLead us, O God, with joy
to walk in the light of glory.
1Arise, O Jerusalem,
stand upon the height: ♦
look to the east and see your children,
2Gathered from the west
and the east ♦
at the word of the Holy One.
3They rejoice that God
has remembered them ♦
and has brought them back to you.
4For God has ordered
that every high mountain ♦
and the everlasting hills be made low,
5And the valleys filled
up to make level ground ♦
so that they may walk safely in the glory of God.
6The woods and every
fragrant tree ♦
have shaded them at God’s command.
7For God will lead his
people with joy
in the light of his glory ♦
with the mercy and righteousness that comes from God.
Baruch 5.5, 6c, 7-9
AllGlory to the Father and
to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
AllLead us, O God, with joy
to walk in the light of glory.
