Faith That Lets Us Sing ‎#26

26. Come, Dayspring from on High

1 Come, Dayspring from on high,
Emmanuel, draw nigh,
God with us, everyone,
in us your will be done.
Maranatha, our Lord, come.

2 Our hearts are open wide.
Love, here you may abide.
Christ Jesus, enter in,
redeem us from our sin.
Maranatha, our Lord, come.

3 Light of the world, we pray,
be born in us today,
our faith and love increase
that we may know your peace.
Maranatha, our Lord, come.
