Author: Love H. Jameson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13106 Meter: 12.12.12.12 First Line: There was darkness above, there was darkness beneath Lyrics: 1 There was darkness above, there was darkness beneath,
’Twas the darkness of night, snd the shadow of death;
When the day-star of life tose amid the deep gloom,
And illumined the darkness of death and the tomb.
2 As the shepherds stood watch by their flocks in the night;
While they slept on the sward, 'neath the stars’ gentle light,
From the portals of bliss, came an angelic train,
Warbling music divine over Bethlehem’s plain.
3 To Jehovah they sang, "Highest glory be giv’n
Among mortals, good will; peace on earth, joy in Heav’n";
Echo sent back the strain from each mountain and hill,
"To Jehovah be glory, to mortals good will." Languages: English Tune Title: PALENCIA
