1 O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
Sweet Savior, haste;

Refrain:
Come, come to earth:
Dispel the night, and show thy face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messiah,
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph
And sadness flee away.

2 O thou, whom nations sighed for,
Whom priests and prophets long foretold,
Wilt break the captive fetters,
Redeem the long lost fold. [Refrain]

3 Shalt come in peace and meekness,
And lowly will thy cradle be:
All clothed in human weakness
Shall we thy God head see. [Refrain]
