In Darkness Lay the World Below
words and music by Raluca Bojor
In darkness lay the world below
A hopeless generation
For sin and death in deepest woe
Have buried all creation.
But Jesus from his throne above
Came down to us tonight
To lead his people by his love
From darkness into light.
He took on human flesh like us,
Was born to live and suffer,
The One who formed the universe
Now sleeping by his mother.
Th’Eternal One steps down in time
To bring his kingdom near.
The Word of God and Son divine
Now dwelling with us here.
Rejoice for Jesus Christ the king
Has brought us God’s salvation
Triumphant over death and sin,
The hope of every nation!
O, come and join the angels bright,
Sing praises and adore!
The baby born on this dark night
Will shine forevermore!
