MHB 139 -THE race that long in darkness pined,

Methodist-Hymns-139

1: THE race that long in darkness pined,
Have seen a glorious Light;
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
In death’s surrounding night.

2: To hail Thy rise, Thou better Sun,
The gathering nations come,
Joyous as when the reapers bear
The harvest-treasures home.

3: To us a Child of Hope is born,
To us a Son is given;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.

4: His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
For evermore adored,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord.

5: His power increasing still shall spread,
His reign no end shall know:
Justice shall guard His throne above,
And peace abound below.
