152R Veiled in Shadows the Land Lay
Meter, 7.7.7.7.7.7., Tune, EBELING or DIX.
1. Veiled in shad-ows the land lay,
wait-ing for the pro-mised day,
while a-cross the drear-y night
streamed a flood of glor-ious light,
heav’nly voic-es chant the call,
“Peace on earth, good will to all.”
2. Still the earth in shad-ows lies.
Up from death’s vall-ey a-rise
voic-es of a world in grief,
prayers of those who seek re-lief:
Now the shad-ows heed the call,
“Peace on earth, good will to all.”
3. Light of light, we humbly pray,
shine up-on your world to-day;
Break the gloom of our long night,
fill our souls with love and light,
send the bless-ed word and call,
“Peace on earth, good will to all.”
