Oh Come
Oh come, oh come into the darkened night
look up with open eyes of adoration
trace the shaft, a perfect radiant light ~
journey to humanities salvation.
Oh come, look up, where angels host the stars,
below, a manger lies, swaddled in birth,
a prophecy born to rise above czars;
Emanuel descended to cleanse the Earth.
All "Glory be to God in the Highest"
bring "Peace on Earth" and "Tidings of Goodwill"
blessed, redeemed in grace, revered and pious;
we accept 'the word', His promise to fulfill.
Oh come, oh come into a silent night,
born to free us, from sin and human plight.
