Advent Hymn

Christ whose glory fills the skies
Christ the everlasting light
The Son of Righteousness arise
And triumph o'er these shades of night

And come Thou long awaited One
In the fullness of Your love
And loose this heart bound up by shame
And I will never be the same

So here I wait in hope of You
All my soul's longing through and through
And Day-spring from on high, be near
And Day-star in my heart appear

And dark and cheerless is the morn
Until Your love in me is born
And joyless is the evening song
Until Emmanuel has come
