1 The race that long in darkness pined
Have seen a glorious Light;
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
In death’s surrounding night,
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
In death’s surrounding night.
2 To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is given;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven,
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.
3 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
For evermore adored;
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord.
4 His power, increasing, still shall spread;
His reign no end shall know:
Justice shall guard His throne above,
And peace abound below,
Justice shall guard His throne above
And peace abound below.
