Come Lord Jesus (Songs of Advent)

by Christ Church East Bay

/
1.
O come O come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel O come Thou Dayspring come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death’s dark shadows put to flight Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel
2.
He has looked upon me in my humble estate From now on generations call me blessed He is mighty indeed and his mercy is great Those who fear him cry holy is his name My soul doth magnify the Lord And my spirit rejoices in my God My soul doth magnify the Lord And my spirit rejoices in my God He has shown us His strength He has scattered the proud Thrones will tumble as humble spirits rise And the hungry are filled as the rich fall away Ancient mercies have turned to spoken grace My soul doth magnify the Lord And my spirit rejoices in my God My soul doth magnify the Lord And my spirit rejoices in my God He has done great things He has done great things He has done great things my soul rejoice He has done great things He has done great things He has done great things my soul rejoice He has looked upon me in my humble estate From now on generations call me blessed
3.
Watching, waiting, the Savior we will see Signs of promise, unveil Your mystery Wearied by Ages and endless enemies Prophets and sages will bow in worship Lord, come and set Your people free from darkness To follow in the way of peace You promised Lord, come and set Your people free Lord, come and set Your people free You have raised up a Savior from on high Lord, we bless You for You have heard our cry Born salvation as darkness turns to light Present and merciful Christ now hear us For You have set your people free from darkness To follow in the light of peace You promised Lord, You have set Your people free Lord, You have set Your servant free
4.
Lord, now let me depart in peace For I have seen Your salvation A light in the darkness for weary ones Your glory among all the nations Come, Lord Jesus, come Emmanuel, God with us Light of the world given all for love Glory to God in the highest For us and for our salvation Promise of old from on high Wrapped in the garb of humanity The Word who would suffer and die Silently now You descend to us Bidding our sorrows to cease Beautiful Savior now flesh and blood Bringing us life and peace Come, Lord Jesus, come Emmanuel born to us Mystery revealing the Father’s love Glory to God in the highest
5.
The Virgin this day gives birth to One beyond all nature And the earth drawls in Offering a cave To One who cannot be approached Angels with shepherds give glory and Magi make their way By following after a star For there is born to us a tiny child who is God before all times began Before all times began Bethlehem reopens Eden’s gate Come let us behold What delights we have found hidden here O Come and taste Gifts of paradise from within a cave There we saw an unwatered root budding forth forgiveness There we found the still-sealed well from which we longed to drink And so to this we came To see the birthplace of a tiny child who is God before all times began Noel noel Hallelujah Emmanuel has come to us. Noel noel Sing Gloria For Jesus Christ is born to us Noel noel Hallelujah Emmanuel now flesh and blood Noel noel We praise Your name Our God before all time began Noel Hallelujah Emmanuel has come Noel Sing Gloria For Christ has come to us

about

The season of Advent gets little attention in the midst of Christmas anticipation, but this 5-song EP delivers thoughtful and engaging content which will enhance any Advent experience; one that should be, ironically, an "anticipation" of Christmas.
