In the depth of winter's darkness, lost in gloomy shades of night, all humanity stands watching, waiting for God's promised Light. Alleluia, alleluia, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come! Now the time of preparation-- with repentance hope, resolve, let us ready minds and spirits for the Christ who comes in love. Alleluia, alleluia, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come! Once he came, and still he's coming, mystery both new and old-- what the hour of his new Advent prophets have not known or told. Alleluia, alleluia, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come! Doing justice, showing mercy, praying, praising, let us wait so that we may greet his coming ready for the Daystar's Light. Alleluia, alleluia, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
