and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
(Job 12:22)

and brings deep darkness to light.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
(Isaiah 9:2)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light;
those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.

In the end, there will be no more night; we will need no light of lamp or sun,
for the Lord God will be our light and will reign forever and ever.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
