Songs of Longing, Vol. 1 (Advent)

by Christ Church East Bay

/
1.
Kyrie 1 01:30
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 Christ, have mercy on us Thou Breath of life, in whom are all things, Lord, have mercy on us Christ, have mercy on us
2.
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?
3.
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.

about

The ancient story of Advent and the Incarnation are beautifully captured in this four-song set from Christ Church East Bay, reminding us that we are found in God's story as we remember His saving acts and anticipate His re-creation of all things.
