Verse 1

Christ whose glory fills
The skies
Christ the Everlasting Light
Son of Righteousness arise
And triumph o'er these shades
Of night

Verse 2

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

Chorus

So here I wait in hope of You
My soul's longing
Through and through
And dayspring from
On high be near
Daystar in my heart appear

Verse 3

Dark and cheerless
Is the morn
'Till Your love in me is born
And joyless is the evening sun
And till Emmanuel has come

Chorus

So here I wait in hope of You
My soul's longing
Through and through
And dayspring from
On high be near
Daystar in my heart appear

Verse 4

Christ whose glory fills
The skies
Christ the Everlasting Light
The Son of Righteousness arise
And triumph o'er these shades
Of night
