Darkness fell on the weary earth by Joseph Barnby — Lyrics

Joseph Barnby English Sacred Christmas Staff notation

Full Lyrics

1. Darkness fell on the weary earth, Gloom the nations shrouded; Watchers longed for the wondrous birth, Hope with fear was clouded; Suddenly burst the Light of Light! O fairest Star that gem'd the height, Leading on to where Jesus lay, Marvellous Child, the Spring of Day! Angels sing, we with them Do greet Thee, Babe of Bethlehem, Hail! all hail!
