Description
SATB and Organ. A beautiful tune with a "darkness to light" message. Could incorporate various soloists as well. Easy to learn (even for small choirs), gratifying to sing. What more could you want from an Advent anthem?

Lyrics
In the stillness of our darkness,
In the shadows of the night;
Earth is waiting for the promise,
longing for the coming light.
Once before he came in blessing,
Still he comes, our hearts to win;
Come, Lord Jesus, come in glory,
Let your heav'n on earth begin;
Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy grace receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more our presence leave.
Light of Light shine through our darkness,
Turn our night to radiant day;
Come, Lord Jesus, come in glory,
Open all our hearts to praise.
