Come Lord Jesus, Come

This is another of Michael Mangan’s songs for children that I must have done at a children’s gathering when my children were younger. It is an advent chant really, and nothing in the lyrics would stop it being used for everyone. It is available in the Sing Your Joy collection.

Chorus

Come Lord Jesus, come.

Come Lord Jesus, come.

Come Lord Jesus, come.

Verse 1

Watching for the Lord of Light,

Waiting for the Light of love,

Ready for him when he comes.

Chorus

Verse 2

Make a path for God to come.

Let God fill your heart with life,

Turning darkness into light.

Chorus

Verse 3

Bringing hope to those who fear,

Joy and freedom soon to all,

Lighting up the world with truth.

Chorus

Verse 4

Promised Saviour soon to come,

Son of Mary, Son of God,

Christ our Saviour, Christ our Light.
