Through Midnight Ages Dark And Lone

Author: Thomas L. Harris Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through midnight ages dark and lone, Oppression triumphed o’er the free; They set the watch, they rolled the stone, Upon the grave of liberty; When lo! the angels burst the gloom, And Freedom rises from the tomb. 2 Robed in the sable veil of fear, The mourners haste at early day, But angels from a brighter sphere Disperse their gloomy cares away; Rejoice! O earth, rejoice! they cry For Freedom lives, no more to die. 3 O Christ, our Savior! Thou who art The Lord and ruler of the free, Reveal to every human heart The freedom that is found in Thee; So shall the world’s last tyrant fall, And love and light be all in all.

When penitential grief has wept Over some foul dark spot, One only stream, a stream of blood, Can wash away the blot. 4. ’Tis Jesus’ blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief, His heart that’s touched with all our joys, And feels for all our grief. 5. Lift up Thy bleeding hand, O Lord, Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin But in Thy wounded side. Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD (Richardson)
