Come, Bring Your Light

Original song. For Advent, Year B. A dialogue between soloist and congregation. Sing one section each week. The congregation’s response remains the same through out the season; the soloist’s verses reflect the weeks’ lectionary texts. (Hear an audio excerpt in the product description.)
Lyrics for week 1:
Cantor:
O God, that you would tear open the heavens and come down!
You are our maker, you the potter and we your clay.
  
We lack no spiritual gift as we wait for you, O Christ.
For you will strengthen us to the end.
  
Congregation:
O Come to us, O come, Emmanuel,
and bring your light into our darkened world.
  
Keep alert, for you do not know when the Beloved will appear.
As with the fig tree in spring, watch for signs of new life.
  
Heaven and earth will pass away but your words will not pass away.
Help us, O Christ, to follow your call to keep awake.
  
Congregation:
O Come to us, O come, Emmanuel,
and bring your light into our darkened world.
