Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #58b (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, hope of every nation,
light of heaven upon our way;
promise of the world's salvation,
spring of life's eternal day!
2 Saints by faith on God depending
wait to see Messiah born;
sin's oppressive night is ending
in the glory of the dawn.
3 Look, he comes! — the long-awaited
Christ, redeemer, living Word;
hope and faith are vindicated
as with joy we greet the Lord.
4 Glory in the highest heaven
to the Father, Spirit, Son;
and on earth let praise be given
to our God, the Three-in-One! Topics: Advent 1 The Advent Hope; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Christmas 1 The Incarnation; Doxologies; God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Nunc Dimittis; Trinity Sunday The Trinity Scripture: Luke 2:29-32 Languages: English Tune Title: EVERSLEY
