We are waiting, anticipating
That the horn of our redemption should be raised.,
Our consolation, our great salvation
Shall come to us at last, Oh Lord be praised!
We are going without knowing
And we’ve languished in the darkness of the night
Expectation of your visitation
Yields the hope that our faith will turn to sight
Come again, come again
Come again oh Lord Jesus to this earth
Return to us as we return to you
We wondered at your birth
Now Help us to reckon and repent
As we celebrate your first advent.
Show us our need, Oh you, the woman’s seed
You who wrote all history’s pages
Your blood was shed because we were dead
Come bring the living hope of all the ages
Lord we long to sing the song
Of your hosannahs in the highest once again
Come Lord Jesus, come and free us
Come redeem your people once for all from sin.
Bridge
You give to us the gift of faith that we should hope in you
Trusting that your promises are faithful and so true
We are waiting for your glory to fully be revealed
We are waiting to be glorified and forever healed
Faith in perfect promises calls us to repent of sin
We have the great assurance of your advent once again
Come again, come again
Come again oh Lord Jesus to this earth
Return to us as we return to you
We wondered at your birth
Now Help us to reckon and repent
As we anticipate your next advent.
