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
Oh my soul's longing
Through and through
Dayspring from on high be near
And daystar in my heart appear

Verse 3

Dark and cheerless is the morn
Until Your love in me is born
And joyless is the evening sun
Until Emmanuel has come

Chorus

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