Light For those Who Sit In Darkness

Verse 1

Though now the nations sit beneath The darkness of o'erspreading death, God will arise, with light divine On Zion's holy towers to shine.

Verse 2

That light shall shine on distant lands, And wandering tribes, in joyful bands, Shall come thy glory, Lord, to see, And in thy courts to worship thee.

Verse 3

O light of Zion, now arise! Let the glad morning bless our eyes! Ye nations, catch the kindling ray, And hail the splendor of the day.
