O saviour God! We cry to thee,
Thy sacred face we long to see;
Upon the clouds of heaven 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 every 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.
