Third Sunday of Advent - Joy (Old Testament Reading)

The Old Testament reading for the Third Sunday of Advent comes from the Book of Isaiah.

Isaiah 12:3-6 New Living Translation (NLT)

3 With joy you will drink deeply

    from the fountain of salvation!

4 In that wonderful day you will sing:

    “Thank the Lord! Praise his name!

Tell the nations what he has done.

    Let them know how mighty he is!

5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things.

    Make known his praise around the world.

6 Let all the people of Jerusalem shout his praise with joy!

    For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you.
