Tune: | VENEZ, DIVIN MESSIE |
1 O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
Refrain:
Dear Savior, haste; Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show your 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 Christ, whom nations sigh for,
Whom priest and prophet long foretold,
Come, break the captive fetters;
Redeem the long lost fold. [Refrain]
3 You come in peace and meekness,
And lowly will your cradle be;
All clothed in human weakness
Shall we your Godhead see. [Refrain]
