Fr. Bill’s CD Lyrics
Blanket of Stars: Advent Wreath Carol (Coming Light of Jesus)
Come, O Light of Jesus
Let this candle show
Our holy expectation
So as we wait we grow
Toward the day of Your arrival
Let Your glory stir within
Until Your final coming
Come save us from our sin.
Come, O light of Jesus
Ev’ry waiting hour
Call us to repentance,
Your manifested pow’r
May this second candle
Increase each heart’s desire
To live a holy Advent
Illumined by Your fire.
Come, O light of Jesus
Anticipation sings
The shade of rose, rejoicing
Our preparation brings.
Ignite within all children
Your gift of flickering joy
And deepen wreath’s awareness
Of divinity’s infant boy.
Come, O light of Jesus
All creation held its breath
Love’s mystery incarnate
Came to take our sin and death
With new hope for salvation,
We light the wreath around
Like heaven’s smile still shining
Your promised peace, profound.
Come, O light of Jesus
Maranatha, Jesus . . . Come!
