Lord, have mercy on us
Christ, have mercy on us
Fountain of life, Creator of all,
Lord, have mercy on us
Christ, have mercy on us
Lord, have mercy on us

Lord, have mercy on us
Christ, have mercy on us

How Long, O Lord
04:54
|

How long, O Lord, will You be silent?
Lord, hear our cry; have mercy on us.
How long, O Lord? We wait in darkness.
Lord, hear our cry; speak comfort to us.
A voice calls out: "Prepare the way,
In desert lands, make straight a highway.
"Every valley shall be raised up,
Every mountain and hill made low,
Mountain and hill made low.
And the crooked shall be made straight,
And the rough places plain,
And the rough places plain."
How long, O Lord? We toil in sadness.
Our souls ache, Lord; send us Your presence.
How long, O Lord, until Your glory
Will be revealed and You have spoken?

Light of Our Dwelling
03:17
|

Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death
Come and by Thy love's revealing
Dissipate the clouds beneath
The new heav'n and earth's Creator
In our deepest darkness rise
Scatt'ring all the night of nature
Pouring eyesight on our eyes
Still we wait for Thine appearing
Life and joy Thy beams impart
Chasing all our fears and cheering
Ev'ry poor benighted heart
Come and manifest the favor
God hath for our ransomed race
Come Thou universal Savior
Come and bring the gospel grace
By Thine all redeeming merit
Ev'ry burdened soul release
Ev'ry weary wand'ring spirit
Guide into Thy perfect peace
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death
Come and by Thy love's revealing
Dissipate the clouds beneath

4. |

People that in darkness dwell,
Veiled in grief and sore oppressed,
Hearts forlorn and souls weighed down,
Bearing pain and sadness.
Now there shall be no more gloom
For those who were in distress.
See, our night is ending soon,
Light will shine in darkness.
For to us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given,
Bringing heaven's joy to earth;
Glory in the highest!
On those living in the land,
Burdened with a heavy load,
From deep darkness Light has dawned,
Shatt'ring ev'ry yoke.
For to us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given.
Emmanuel has come to earth;
Glory in the highest! Glory in the highest!
People that in darkness walk,
Bid your feeble striving cease.
Fear not, for our Light has dawned:
Jesus, Prince of Peace.
Jesus, Prince of Peace.
Jesus, Prince of Peace.
