Roger Hutchison – Advent
O Wisdom,
Holy Word of God
You rule all creation with power and true concern.
– Come teach us the way of salvation.
O Sacred Lord
and leader of ancient Israel
You communicated with Moses at the burning bush
and gave him the law on Mount Sinai
– Come to set us free by Your mighty arm
O Root of Jesse
raised up as a sign of all peoples
in Your presence kings become mute
and the nations worship before You
– Come to deliver us and do not delay
O Key of David
and Royal Power of Israel,
You open what no man can shut,
and You shut what no man can open.
– Come and deliver Your people
imprisoned by darkness and the shadow of death
O Radiant Dawn
You are the brightness of eternal light
and the Sun of justice.
– Come to enlighten those who sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death
O King of the Gentiles
and the long-for Ruler of the nations,
You are the cornerstone Who make all one.
– Come and save those whom You have created
O Emmanuel
our King and our Lawgiver
You are the Desired of the nations
and the Savior of all men.
– Come to save us, O Lord, our God!
