Then he brought me to the gate, the gate facing east. And there, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east; the sound was like the sound of mighty waters; and the earth shone with his glory.

III. Meditation: Good things

I. When we face the light in the east
and hear the sound of mighty waters,
and the earth shines with your glory,
then it is good to declare
your steadfast love
in the morning,
your faithfulness
by night.

II. Christ came as high priest
of the good things
that have come.
Give us wisdom
to be with him,
not against him;
strength to gather with him
and not scatter.
