Come, Lord Jesus, to the manger.
May we see Thy tender face—
Great Creator, here a stranger,
Infant in this humble place.
Darkness scatter; morning swell.
Come, dear Lord Immanuel.
Come, Lord Jesus, to the manger.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
Come, Lord Jesus, to the wounded—
Broken heart and bended knee.
Worthy Lamb, Thy love unbounded,
Bid our souls to rest in Thee.
Grant us mercy, Savior, King;
Come with healing in Thy wings.
Come, Lord Jesus, to the wounded.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
Come, Lord Jesus, great Redeemer,
Light of Morning, Prince of Peace.
We will be Thy children ever.
Dry our tears; may weeping cease.
Come in glory; come again.
Come to us to rule and reign.
Ready us to kneel and greet Thee.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
