When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes, the waiting world will be made new; for on that night, that holy night, the words of prophets will come true. When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes, a star will shine like none before; and in its light, its holy light, we'll find a stable's open door. When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes, the sick will rise and be made well; the lame will leap, the blind will see, the mute will sing "Emmanuel!" When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes, we'll know the power of love divine; for in a humble manger bed we'll see the sleeping sacred sign.
