1 O come, divine Messiah;
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph
and sadness flee away.
Refrain:
Dear Saviour, 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's 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 God-head see. [Refrain]
