The People That in Darkness Sat
Author: John Morison Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Appears in 221 hymnals Lyrics: 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.

the gath'ring nations come;
they joy as when the reapers beat
their harvest treasures home,
their harvest treasures home.

and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God,
before the sword of God.
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.

the Everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored,
the God by all adored.
6 His righteous government and pow'r
shall over all extend;
on judgment and on justice based,
his reign shall have no end,
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;
and Holy Spirit, one. Topics: Christ Birth of; Christ Deity of; Harvest and Thanksgiving; Nations Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Used With Tune: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN

The Spirit Breathes upon the Word
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the Word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light,
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun:
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none,
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The Hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat:
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set,
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heav'nly day,
With beams of heav'nly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love.
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above,
In brighter worlds above.

the swallows find a nest;
how happy they who dwell with thee
and praise thee without rest,
and happy those whose hearts are set
upon the pilgrim's quest.
3 They who go through the desert vale
will find it filled with springs,
and they shall climb from height to height
till Zion's temple rings
with praise to thee, in glory throned,
Lord God, great King of kings.
4 One day within thy courts excels
a thousand spent away;
how happy they who keep thy laws
nor from thy precepts stray,
for thou shall surely bless all those
who live the words they pray. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Dedication Festival Scripture: Psalm 84:1 Used With Tune: BROTHER JAMES; AIR Text Sources: Paraphrase of Psalm 84, in The Psalms of David in Meeter, 1650

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 with repeat Appears in 918 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heav'nly train,
That fill the heav'nly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.
4 To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave,
And saves me from the grave.
5 Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
Amen. Topics: Christ Beauty Scripture: Hebrews 2:9 Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE
