##(Verse 1) The people that in darkness sat A glorious light have seen; The light has shined on them who long In shades of death have been. In shades of death have been. ##(Verse 2) To hail Thee, Sun of Righteousness, The gath'ring nations come; They joy as when the reapers bear Their harvest treasures home. Their harvest treasures home. ##(Verse 3) For Thou their burden dost remove And break the tyrant's rod As in the day when Midian fell Before the sword of God. Before the sword of God. ##(Verse 4) To us a Child of hope is born, To us a Son is giv'n, And on His shoulder ever rests All pow'r in earth and heav'n. All pow'r in earth and heav'n. ##(Verse 5) His name shall be the Prince of Peace, The Everlasting Lord, The Wonderful, the Counselor. The God by all adored. The God by all adored. ##(Verse 6) His righteous government and power Shall over all extend; On judgment and on justice based, His reign shall have no end. ##(Verse 7) Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray, And make us Thine alone, Who with the Father ever art And Holy Spirit, one.
