In ancient times didst give the Law
In cloud and majesty and awe. [Refrain]

Free them from Satan's tyranny
That trust Thy mighty pow'r to save,
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave. [Refrain]

And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. [Refrain]

And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight. [Refrain]

In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our King of Peace. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 7:10-14 Languages: English Tune Title: VENI EMMANUEL
