Advent and Christmas are almost upon us, so you may enjoy hymns for the period Advent to Candlemas. The extract below is Come, Jesus, Come. This has been set to music by Alan Smith.
- Come, Jesus Come: we cry aloud
To bring new hope to weary earth;
We cannot help ourselves, yet know
Cruel death will follow wondrous birth. - Come, Jesus, come, our eyes are burned
As pride and greed shed toxic light;
We cannot help ourselves yet know
Angels will promise heavenly sight. - Come Jesus come: our ears are drowned
In choirs of selfish blasphemy;
We cannot help ourselves yet know
Your selfless grace brings liberty. - Come Jesus Come: our hearts are sore
With beating to the idol's drum;
We cannot help ourselves but know
You are the one: Come, Jesus, Come!
