¶Liedtext

The race that long in darkness pined, Has seen a glorious light; The people dwell in day, who dwelt In death’s surrounding night. To hail thy rise, thou better Sun, The gathering nations come, Joyous as when the reapers bear The harvest treasures home. To us a Child of Hope is born, To us a Son is given, Him shall the tribes of earth obey, Him all the hosts of heaven. His Name shall be the Prince of Peace, Forevermore adored, The Wonderful, the Counselor, The great and mighty Lord. His power increasing still shall spread, His reign no end shall know: Justice shall guard His throne above, And peace abound below.
