The race that long in darkness pined
Tune: Crediton  
Metre: Common Metre  

 

The race that long in darkness pined

Have seen a glorious light;

The people dwell in day, who dwelt

In death’s surrounding night.

 

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.

 

His name shall be the Prince of Peace,

For evermore adored,

The Wonderful, the Counsellor,

The great and mighty Lord.

 

His power increasing still shall spread,

His reign no end shall know;

Justice shall guard his throne above,

And peace abound below.
