Come, Jesus, come, Morning Star: come with rays of joy and peace. Word of hope, whom fears would bar, from our darkness bring release. Come, Jesus, come, Holy Child: come enfleshed in humble birth. Word of love, though scorned, reviled, give our human life new worth. Come, Jesus, come, living Lord: come in prayer and sacraments. Word of blessing still outpoured, work in ways transcending sense. Come, Jesus, come, King of kings: come to rule on earth again. Word for whom creation sings, "O come, Prince of Peace, and reign."
