320. The People Who in Darkness Walked

1 The people who in darkness walked
have seen a glorious light;
and those who in the shadows live
have seen the new day's dawning:

2 To hail your rising, Sun of life,
the gath'ring nations come
with joy, as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.

3 To us the promised Child is born,
to us the Son is giv'n;
and on his shoulder ever rests
all pow'r in earth and heav'n.

4 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the Everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counselor,
the God by all adored.

5 His righteous government and power
shall over all extend;
on judgment and on justice based,
his reign shall have no end.

6 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray,
and make us yours alone,
who with the Father ever are
and Holy Spirit, one.
