Light-bearing Christ, come down to us
And light in darkness sow;
Come down and save our fallen world
Whose sinful ways you know.

Prepare us for your grace and truth
Who watch and wait for you;
Restore mankind’s lost dignity:
Come down and make us new.

Almighty Father, speak the Word
Your children long to hear,
And with your Spirit dwell with us,
Lord, God of love, draw near. Amen.
