The Light Will Come [Advent: Day 6 of 28]

The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them. - Isaiah 9:2

And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His servant,
To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him
(For I am honored in the sight of the LORD,
And My God is My strength),
He says, "It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant,
To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also make you a light of the nations
So that My salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."
Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and its Holy One,
To the despised One,
To the One abhorred by the nation,
To the servant of rulers,
"Kings will see and arise,
Princes also will bow down,
Because of the LORD who is faithful,
The Holy One of Israel who has chosen You." - Isaiah 49:5-7

The light will come to darkened land,
A great, great light from God's own hand;
Into the dark a light will shine
On those in darkness, for a sign
Of that great thing which God hath planned.

The LORD has promised to expand
The breadth and length of His command
As over all the world's wide line
The light will come.

The hopeless world by light is spanned
As comes through Him new life so grand
That He, despised, shall realign
The scattered parts, souls in decline.
Salvation nigh: across the land
The light will come.
