An Advent song
Jesus, are you coming?
Jesus, my sweet Lord.
To light this dark world
The Lord blessed a girl
With grace from above
Gave flesh to God’s love
In Jesus, sweet Jesus.
Jesus, are you coming?
Jesus, my sweet Lord.
Not only to be born
In hay on Christmas morn
But birthed in our hearts
Let your love impart
Sweet Jesus, O Jesus.
Jesus, are you coming?
Jesus, my sweet Lord.
Come open our hearts
Come make us your art
Descend as a dove
On wings of God’s love
In Jesus, O Jesus.
Don’t let our hearts roam
Come rest in our homes
We wait here on earth
For the day of your birth
O sweet Jesus. Come down Jesus.
