O Come, Divine Messiah

Verse 1

O come, divine Messiah; The world in silence waits the day When hope shall sing its triumph And sadness flee away.

Chorus

Dear Savior, 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.

Verse 2

O Christ, whom nations sigh for, Whom priest and prophet long foretold, Come, break the captive's fetters, Redeem the long-lost fold.

Verse 3

You come in peace and meekness And lowly will your cradle be; All clothed in human weakness Shall we your Godhead see.
