The lands that long in darkness lay Now have beheld a heav’nly light; Nations that sat in death’s cold shade Are blessed with beams divinely bright. 2. The virgin’s promised son is born, Behold th’expected child appear: What shall His names or titles be? The Wonderful, the Counselor. 3. This infant is the mighty God, Come to be suckled and adored; 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 honors 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.

O Bless the Hour

Squires Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: O bless the hour when evening comes Lyrics: 1 O bless the hour when evening comes, And calls us to our place of pray’r; With joyful heart our feet we turn To meet Thine own disciples there. 2 With one accord we gather here, Our wants make known, our sins confess; Dear Saviour, wilt Thou now appear And bless, as only Thou canst bless. 3 Our faith increase, our fears remove, Make strong the weak, the helpless raise; May ev’ry heart now feel Thy love, And ev’ry tongue speak forth Thy praise. 4 No want have we Thou canst not fill, No need but Thou canst fully meet; May we obey Thy gracious will, And find our lives in Thee complete.

And those who such a race would run As early should be on their way. 2. His Father’s business was His care; Yet in man’s favor still He grew; O might we learn by thought and prayer, Like Him a work of love to do! 3. For all mankind He came, nor yet An infant’s visit would deny; Nor friend nor mother did forget In His last hour of agony. 4. O children, ask Him to impart That spirit clear, that temper mild, Which made the mother in her heart Keep all the sayings of her Child. 5. Bless Him who said, of such as you His Father’s kingdom is: and still, His yoke to bear, His work to do, Study His life to learn His will.
