The People Who in Darkness Walked
Author: John Morison Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #192 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Lyrics: 1 The people who in darkness walked
have seen a glorious light;
the heavenly dawn broke forth on those
who dwelt in death and night,
who dwelt in death and night.
2 To greet you, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come,
rejoicing as when reapers bring
their harvest treasures home,
their harvest treasures home.
3 To us the promised child is born,
to us a son is given;
and on his shoulders ever rests
all power in earth and heaven,
all power in earth and heaven.
4 His name shall be the Prince of Peace
forevermore adored,
the Wonderful, the Counselor,
the Mighty God and Lord,
the Mighty God and Lord.
5 His peace and righteous government
shall over all extend;
on judgment and on justice based,
his reign shall never end,
his reign shall never end.

ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,

of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see
evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth for ever blessèd,
when the virgin full of grace,
by the Spirit's power conceiving,
bore the saviour of our race,
and the babe, the world's redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face
evermore and evermore.

sang of old with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected:
let creation praise its Lord
evermore and evermore.

angel hosts his praises sing,
all dominions bow before him
and extol our God and king;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice together sing
evermore and evermore. Topics: Christmas; Circumcision; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Prophetic Witness; Saints Days and Holy Days Anunciation of the Blessed Virgin; Saints Days and Holy Days St Matthias; Virgin Mary; Worship Earthly and Heavenly Languages: English Tune Title: CORDE NATUS

Lord of the Sabbath, Hear Us Pray
Author: Philip Doddridge; Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #151 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray,
in this your house, on this your day;
and own, as grateful sacrifice,
the songs which from your temple rise.

whose mercies flow each day the same,
whose kind compassions never cease,
we seek instruction, pardon, peace.
3 Your earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
but there's a nobler rest above;
to that our lab'ring souls aspire
with ardent hope and strong desire.
4 In your blest kingdom we shall be
from ev'ry mortal trouble free:
no sighs shall mingle with the songs
resounding from immortal tongues.
5 No rude alarms of raging foes,
no cares to break the long repose,
no midnight shade, no waning moon,
but sacred, high, eternal noon.
6 O long-expected day, begin,
dawn on these realms of woe and sin!
Break, morn of God, upon our eyes;
and let the world's true Sun arise!

Now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee;
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning;
With Thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest.

Holy, holy, holy, singing,
Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to Thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven.
3 Hence all care, all vanity!
For the day to God is holy;
Come, Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Nought today my soul shall move,
Simply resting in Thy love.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; God Light; Lord's Day, The; Morning; Rest; Worship Lord's Day, The Tune Title: HINCHMAN
