The dark now hides the many folk who walk there day by day,
Beneath the shadow cast by death that hides their homeward way.
But some day, so the promise tells, the darkness will be rent,
The chosen ones will have the light a loving God has sent.
As harvest feasts are filled with joy, so shall all Israel be.
As plund’ring warriors share the spoils and dance about with glee.
For chains that held the nation fast, and scourging whips are gone,
And wars and battles disappear, and peace goes on and on.
A babe will bring this time to pass, a gift then giv’n to all,
Is sent to earth to save the ones who’re lost through Adam’s fall.
The Prince of Peace, the Counselor, who’ll rule forever more,
With justice from King David’s throne, will lead to heaven’s door.
So celebrate at Christmas time, and sing out clear and loud,
And join the heav’nly army as that huge angelic crowd
Who sang the glory on that night when Christ was sent to earth,
And heaven’s glory shown around, announcing Jesus’ birth.
