Veiled in Darkness Judah Lay

Veiled in dark­ness Ju­dah lay

Waiting for the pro­mised day

While across the sha­dowy night

Streamed a flood of glo­ri­ous light

Heav’nly voic­es chan­ting then

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Still the earth in dark­ness lies.

Up from death’s dark vale arise

Voices of a world in grief

Prayers of men who seek re­lief:

Now our dark­ness pierce again

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Light of light

we hum­bly pray

Shine up­on Thy world today;

Break the gloom of our dark night

Fill our souls with love and light

Send Thy bless­èd Word again

Peace on earth

good will to men.
