Words: Steve Garnaas-Holmes
Tune: O Sacred Head Now Wounded
Lyrics: Dear Jesus, you who suffer and walk among the poor whose hearts and lives are broken, whose faith is still unsure: despised, accused and battered, you do not say a word. So powerless, yet loving!— you are my Sovereign Lord. You bear no arms but loving, no threats nor flags unfurled. You wear no kingly robes, but the sorrows of the world. Yet your forgiveness conquers each worldly rule and reign, and rises, whole, undaunted, from evil, death and pain. While emperors abuse you, and people shrug or stare, and dark injustice troubles the ones for whom you care, your mighty grace arises, and hidden from our sight, enfolds all living beings in your triumphant light. O Jesus, wounded Sovereign, I pray, give me the nerve without this world’s armor to love and bless and serve. My master and companion, rule all eternity with grace and deep compassion, and, Lord, begin with me. -

Lyrics: Savior, in our longing darkness, waiting in our deepest night, come and grace our hunger and yearnings; for we live by hope, not sight. Christ, we long for you. Come bless us. Help us all to walk in the light.
Savior, in our lonely darkness come to us who inwardly mourn. Raise the love that lies a captive; mend the cloth that has been torn. Come to us, O God, with holy love: wake us with the light of morn.
Savior, in our wounded darkness, shadowed by our evil ways, fear and anger and injustice, violence that shutters our praise, come, O Christ, and heal our broken lives with love's gentle, dawning rays.
Savior, in this deepening darkness, how we long to see your face! Yet you move, unseen among us with your mercy and your grace. Give us eyes of faith to see you, hidden in each time and place.
Savior, in this holy darkness, no one sees the flight of the dove. No one hears the song of the angels. Yet there shines a lone star above. Grant this joy, to know your presence here. Come and fill our hearts with your love. -

Lyrics: The night is long; the darkness deep; our childish dreams long gone. We lie awake with hearts that ache for warmth and light of dawn. We long to trust the promise the prophets have foretold: we look for signs of your designs for what the future holds.
In our unknowing and our doubt, O Christ, you speak your Word: to stay awake and watch and wait for signs unseen, unheard. Yet in our very longing, your Spirit cries for home: for you are near, and hidden here, and yet are still to come.
And so in silent stillness now we watch, and as we do your grace imparts into our hearts the gifts we seek in you. Our openness transforms us: for now your grace is clear, that we may shine and be a sign that Christ is drawing near.
