THE SAVIOR COMES! (2004)

​

The Savior comes! O glorious day, 

 when past all explanation

Here lies a babe from Mary born, 

 the Lord of all Creation.

He separated light and dark, 

 but now he comes, descending,

And from the darkness of the womb 

 He brings us Light unending.

​

The Savior comes! Let ev'ry voice 

 cry out in adoration,

For all things great and small now sing 

 of Jesus and salvation!

​

The Savior comes! Our fallen souls, 

 so long in Satan's power

Are washed and cleansed afresh 

 as by a gentle summer shower.

Our selfish mortal pride recedes 

 like ebb tide on the ocean

And in its place His Spirit rises, 

 claiming our devotion.

The Savior comes! Let ev'ry voice...

​

The Savior comes! Our world begins 

 its journey up to Heaven,

For all things human here below 

 rise with His sacred leaven,

And now the earth, which once we saw 

 by sin and creed divided,

Becomes instead a bridge to God, 

 a path He has provided.

​

The Savior comes! Let ev'ry voice...
