The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7058

7058. Veiled in Darkness Judah Lay

1. Veiled in darkness Judah lay,
Waiting for the promised day,
While across the shadowy night
Streamed a flood of glorious light,
Heav’nly voices chanting then,
Peace on earth, good will to men.

2. Still the earth in darkness lies.
Up from death’s dark vale arise
Voices of a world in grief,
Prayers of men who seek relief:
Now our darkness pierce again,
Peace on earth, good will to men.

3. Light of light, we humbly pray,
Shine upon Thy world today;
Break the gloom of our dark night,
Fill our souls with love and light,
Send Thy blessèd Word again,
Peace on earth, good will to men.
