The People That In Darkness Lay,
The Confines Of Eternal Night,
We, We Have Seen A Gospel Day,
The Glorious Beams Of Heavenly Light,
His Spirit In Our Hearts Hath Shone,
And Showed The Father In The Son.
Father Of Everlasting Grace,
Thou Hast In Us Thy Arm Revealed,
Hast Multiplied The Faithful Race,
Who, Conscious Of Their Pardon Sealed,
Of Joy Unspeakable Possest,
Anticipate Their Heavenly Rest.
In Tears Who Sowed, In Joy We Reap,
And Praise Thy Goodness All Day Long:
Him In Our Eye Of Faith We Keep,
Who Gave Us Our Triumphal Song,
And Doth His Spoils To All Divide,
A Lot Among The Sanctified.
Thou Hast Our Bonds In Sunder Broke,
Took All Our Load Of Guilt Away;
From Sin, The World, And Satan’s Yoke,
(Like Israel Saved In Midian’s Day)
Redeemed Us By Our Conquering Lord,
Our Gideon, And His Spirit’s Sword.
Not Like The Warring Sons Of Men,
With Shouts, And Garments Rolled In Blood,
Our Captain Doth The Fight Maintain;
But, Lo! The Burning Spirit Of God
Kindles In Each A Secret Fire;
And All Our Sins As Smoke Expire.
