The People Who in Darkness Walked

Author: John Morrison Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 224 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The people who in darkness walked Have seen a glorious light; The heavenly dawn broke forth on those Who dwelt in death and night, Who dwelt in death and night. 2 To greet you, Sun of Righteousness, The gath'ring nations come, Rejoicing as when reapers bring Their harvest treasures home, Their harvest treasures home. 3 To us a promised child is born, To us a Son is given; And on his shoulders ever rests All power in earth and heaven, All power in earth and heaven. 4 His name shall be the Prince of Peace Forevermore adored, And on his shoulders ever rests The Mighty God and Lord, The Mighty God and Lord. 5 His peace and righteous government Shall over all extend; On judgment and on justice based, His reign shall never end, His reign shall never end.

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Affirm anew the threefold name of Father, Spirit, Son, our God whose saving acts proclaim a world's salvation won. In him alone we live and move and breath and being find, the wayward children of his love who cares for humankind. 2 Declare in all the earth his grace, to every heart his call, the living Lord of time and place whose love embraces all. So shall his endless praise be sung, his teaching truly heard, and every culture, every tongue, receive his timeless word. 3 Confirm our faith in this our day amid earth's shifting sand, with Christ as life and truth and way, a rock on which to stand; the one eternal Son and Lord by God the Father given, the true and life-imparting Word, the Way that leads to heaven. 4 Renew once more the ancient fire, let love our hearts inflame; renew, restore, unite, inspire the church that bears your name; one name exalted over all, one Father, Spirit, Son, O grant us grace to heed your call and in that name be one.

O God, to Whom Revenge Belongs

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, to whom revenge belongs, Proclaim Thy wrath aloud; Let sovereign power redress our wrongs, Let justice smite the proud. They say, The Lord nor sees nor hears: When will the fools be wise? Can He be deaf who formed their ears? Or blind, who made their eyes? 2. He knows their impious thoughts are vain, And they shall feel His power; His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain In some surprising hour. But if Thy saints deserve rebuke, Thou hast a gentler rod; Thy providences and Thy book Shall make them know their God. 3. Blessed is the man Thy hands chastise, And to his duty draw; Thy scourges make Thy children wise When they forget Thy law. But God will ne’er cast off His saints, Nor His own promise break; He pardons His inheritance For their Redeemer’s sake. Used With Tune: MILLSPAUGH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

How Vast the Benefits Divine

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, Hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow. 2. The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to Thee alone; Aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob Thee of Thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for man, And grace was given us in Him before the world began. 3. This is Thy will, that in Thy love we ever should abide; That earth and hell should not prevail to turn Thy Word aside. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to Heav’n attain, Partake on earth the purposed grace and then with Jesus reign. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: Gospel Magazine, 1774
