Take pity on our darkness,
Prepare us for your light:
You come as our Redeemer:
Deliver us from night!

Wake us and keep us watchful,
To open wide the gate
When you return to find us
At early dawn or late.

Let not our sin deter us
From eagerness to see
Your coming as our Savior:
Your Advent sets us free.

We praise you, Christ, Messiah,
God’s mercy to us all,
Come, dwell with us and teach us
To own you Lord of all.

—Hymn
