The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones.
And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,
But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant and to give us a secure hold within his holy place, that our God may brighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our slavery.
It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
