Isaiah 60:1

Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Ver. 1. Arise. ] Thou, O my Church, that now liest in pulvere vastitatis, as a forlorn captive, rouse up thyself, change both thy countenance and condition; Tanquam libera ac laeta ad novum nuncium; up, and look up, I have joyful tidings for thee.

For thy light is come. ] Christ, who is αυτοφως - light essential. Joh 12:46

And, the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. ] The glorious gospel of grace. 2Co 3:7 ; 2Co 4:4
