Lutheran Hymnal: 030 - The People That in Darkness Sat

Listen Later
1
The people that in darkness sat
A glorious light have seen;
The light has shone on them who long
In shades of death have been.
2
To hail Thee, Sun of righteousness,
The gathering nations come;
They joy as when the reapers bear
Their harvest treasures home.
3
For Thou their burden doest remove,
And break the tyrant’s rod,
As in the day when Midian fell
Before the sword of God.
4
To us a child of hope is born,
To us a son is given,
And on His shoulder ever rests
All power in earth and heaven.
5
His name shall be the Prince of peace,
The Everlasting Lord,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
The God by all adored.
6
His righteous government and power
Shall over all extend;
On judgment and on justice based,
His reign shall have no end.
7
Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray,
And make us Thine alone,
Who with the Father ever art
And Holy Spirit one.
