| Text: | O Come, Divine Messiah |
| Author: | Abbé Simon-Joseph Pellegrin, 1663-1745 |
| Translator: | Mary of St. Philip, SND, 1825-1904 |
| 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 come, Desired of nations,
Whom priest and prophet long foretold.
Come break the captive's fetters,
Redeem the long-lost fold. [Refrain]
3 O come in peace and meekness,
For lowly will your cradle be:
Though clothed in human weakness
We shall your Godhead see. [Refrain]
