Verse 1
O Saviour God, we cry to thee;
Thy sacred face we long to see,
Upon the clouds of heav'n appear,
And judge at last thy people here

Thou victim Lamb, by John proclaimed,
The mighty Son of Yahweh named;
O Jesus God, Emmanuel,
Come, save thy people Israel

Be born anew, O Mary's Son,
In human hearts, O Holy One.
Come live in us, our life thou art,
The life divine in ev'ry heart.

Dispel the darkness of the night,
O God of grace, O Word of Light!
That in the hearts of countless men,
The heart of Jesus lives, Amen.
