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 bless??d Word again, ???Peace on earth, good will to men.???
