ADVENT SEASON
ENGLISH SONGS
Entrance: O Come Divine Messiah
I. O come divine Messiah! The
world in silence waits the day.
When hope shall sing its
triumph and sadness flee
away.
Refrain: Dear Savior haste: Come,
come to earth, dispel the
night and show Thy face,
and bid us hail the dawn
of grace.
(Repeat I, then Refrain.)
II. O Christ, whom nations sighed
for, whom priests and prophets
long foretold. Come break the
captive’s fetters, redeem the
long- lost fold.
(Repeat Refrain.)
III. You come in peace and
meekness and lowly will Thy
cradle be: All clothed in human
weakness, Thy God-head we
shall see.
(Repeat I, then Refrain, then I.)
Offertory: Make Us True Servants
I. Make us true servants to all
those in need. Filled with
compassion in thought, word
and deed; Loving our
neighbor, whatever the cost;
Feeding the hungry and finding
the lost.
II. Lord, make us prophets to cry
out the way. Telling the
nations of mercy's new day. Let
us break barriers of hatred and
scorn; Speaking of hope to all
people forlorn.
III. Lord, make us healers of body
and mine; Give us your pow’r
to bring sight to the blind; Love
to the loveless and gladness for
pain; Filling all hearts with the
joy of your name.

To gaze on His goodness
And walk in His ways.
