90 The People that in Darkness Sat
1 The people that in darkness sat
A glorious light have seen;
The light has shone on them who long
In shades of death have been,
In shades of death have been.
2 To us a child of hope is born,
To us a son is giv'n,
And on his shoulders ever rests
All pow'r in earth and heav'n,
All pow'r in earth and heav'n.
3 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
The Everlasting Lord,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The God by all adored,
The God by all adored.
4 His righteous government and pow'r
Shall over all extend;
On judgment and on justice based,
His reign shall have no end,
His reign shall have no end.
5 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray,
And make us yours alone,
For you are with the Father and
The Spirit ever one,
The Spirit ever one.
