Author: J. Morison, 1750-1798 Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #71 (1987) Lyrics: 1 The people who in darkness walked
have seen a glorious light;
that light shines out on those who lived
in shadows of the night.
2 To greet you, Sun of righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
rejoicing as when reapers bring
their harvest treasures home.
3 For now to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and on his shoulders ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
4 His name shall be the prince of peace,
eternally adored;
most wonderful of counselors,
the great and mighty Lord.
5 His peace and righteous government
shall over all extend;
on judgment and on justice based,
his reign shall never end. Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
