Like a Thief in the Night › Representative Texts

1 Like a thief in the night,
like the pangs that herald birth,
Christ will come, unannounced,
once again upon this earth.
Kyrie eleison.

2 Be prepared, stay awake,
Sons and daughters of the light.
Live in faith, live in hope,
for he comes to make things right.
Kyrie eleison.

3 In the light of God’s grace,
judgment is no cause for fear.
Christ will come to forgive
all who wait, repentant, here.
Kyrie eleison.
