The people who in darkness walked
Author: John Morison, 1749-1798 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The people who in darkness walked

the gathering nations come,
joyous as when reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.

to us the Son is given;
him shall the tribes of earth obey,
and all the hosts of heaven.

the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the Mighty God and Lord.

his reign no end shall know;
justice shall guard his throne above,

Grand Rapids, MI, 1990) While attending Dutch church services as a child, Post was first introduced to the Genevan psalms, which influenced her later writings.

For over thirty years Post wrote poetry for the Grand Rapids Press and various church periodicals.

Small Church Music
Editors: John Morison Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
