O'er the gloomy hills of darkness

Meter: 8.7.4 Appears in 410 hymnals First Line: O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul! be still and gaze Lyrics: 1. O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul! be still and gaze; All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace: Blessed jubilee! blessed jubilee! Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2. Let the Indian, let the Negro, Let the rude barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest Once obtained on Calvary; Let the gospel, let the gospel, Loud resound from pole to pole. 3. Kingdoms wide, that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night: And redemption, and redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 4. May the glorious day approaching, On the grossest darkness dawn; And the everlasting gospel Spread abroad thy holy name— All the borders, all the borders, Of the great Emmanuel's land. 5. Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway the sceptre, sway the sceptre, Savior, all the world around.

Lo, th' angelic host rejoices; Heav'nly hallelujahs rise. 2 Listen to the wondrous story, Which they chant in hymns of joy; "Glory in the highest, glory! Glory be to God most high! 3 "Peace on earth, good-will from heaven, Reaching far as man is found; Souls redeemed and sins forgiven; Loud our golden harps shall sound. 4 "Christ is born, the great Anointed; Heaven and earth His praises sing! O receive Whom God appointed, For your Prophet, Priest, and King. 5 "Hasten, mortals, to adore Him; Learn His Name, and taste His joy; Till in Heaven ye sing before Him, Glory be to God most high!" 6 Let us learn the wondrous story Of our great Redeemer's birth; Spread the brightness of His glory, Till it cover all the earth.
