Refrain:
All Lead us, O God, with joy
to walk in the light of glory.
1 Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height: ♦
look to the east and see your children,
2 Gathered from the west and the east ♦
at the word of the Holy One.
3 They rejoice that God has remembered them ♦
and has brought them back to you.
4 For God has ordered that every high mountain ♦
and the everlasting hills be made low,
5 And the valleys filled up to make level ground ♦
so that they may walk safely in the glory of God.
6 The woods and every fragrant tree ♦
have shaded them at God’s command.
7 For 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
All Glory 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.
All Lead us, O God, with joy
to walk in the light of glory.
