1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies.
Christ, the everlasting light,
The Son of Righteousness arise
and triumph o'er these shades of night.

2 And come Thou long-awaited One
in the fullness of Your love.
And loose this heart bound up by shame
and I will never be the same.

So here I wait in hope of You.
All my soul's longing through and through.
And Dayspring from on high, be near.
And Daystar in my heart appear.

3 And dark and cheerless is the morn
until Your love in me is born.
And joyless is the evening song
until Emmanuel has come.

So here I wait in hope of You.
All my soul's longing through and through.
And Dayspring from on high be near.
And Daystar in my heart appear.

So here I wait in hope of You.
All my soul's longing through and through.
And Dayspring from on high be near.
And Daystar in my heart appear.
