Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals First Line: The lands that long in darkness lay Lyrics: 1 The lands that long in darkness lay,
Now have beheld a heav'nly light,
Nations that sat in death's cold shade,
Are bless'd with beams divinely bright.
2 The virgin's promis'd son is born;
Behold th' expected child appear:
What shall his names or titles be?
The Wonderful, the Counsellor.
3 This infant is the mighty God,
Come to be suckled and ador'd;
Th' eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
The son of David, and his Lord.
4 The government of earth and seas
Upon his shoulders shall be laid;
His wide dominions still increase,
And honours to his name be paid.
5 Jesus the holy child shall sit
High on his father David's throne,
Shall crush his foes beneath his feet,
And reign to ages yet unknown. Topics: Particular Types, and General Prophesies of Jesus, from the Legal and Prophetic Dispensations Scripture: Isaiah 9:2

Titus 3:3-9: How wretched was our former state
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: How wretched was our former state Lyrics:
How wretched was our former state,
when, slaves to Satan’s sway,
With hearts disordered and impure,
o’erwhelmed in sin we lay!
But, O my soul! for ever praise,
for ever love his name,
Who turned thee from the fatal paths
of folly, sin, and shame.
Vain and presumptuous is the trust
which in our works we place,
Salvation from a higher source
flows to the human race.
’Tis from the mercy of our God
that all our hopes begin;
His mercy saved our souls from death,
and washed our souls from sin.
His Spirit, through the Saviour shed,
its sacred fire imparts,
Refines our dross, and Love divine
rekindles in our hearts.
Thence raised from death, we live anew;
and, justified by grace,
We hope in glory to appear,
and see our Father’s face.
Let all who hold this faith and hope
in holy deeds abound;
Thus faith approves itself sincere,
by active virtue crowned.
Scripture: Titus 3:3-9
