Antiphon V: O Oriens (Dayspring)

Shade and Darkness - the Evening of the Deluge
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775- 1851)

O, Radiant Dawn,

splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:

Come, shine on those who dwell in darkness

and the shadow of death.

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.

Isaiah 9:2 (ESV)
