With Christ at Our Side

Come, Emmanuel, be with us here today.
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadow put to flight,
Turn darkness into day.

Come, Emmanuel, be with us here today.
We thank you for this precious life,
Our chance to ease this world of strife,
Give this world HOPE, we pray.

Come, Emmanuel, our guiding light:
Show us the path to follow you,
To serve Your Will in all we do,
To trust Your power and might.

Come, Emmanuel, we bow the knee,
We confess we struggle day by day,
We sin, we err, we lose our way,
Forgive us, Lord, our plea.

Come, Emmanuel, merciful King,
Forgive us now, with mercy wide,
Help us to feel you’re at our side;
To You our prayers we bring.

We Come, Emmanuel, we come to You,
With gladness in our hearts and minds,
Our Prince of Peace, hope of mankind,
Our Saviour, here to make us new.

We Come Emmanuel, we Come.
