Come Divine Messiah Christ!

Messiah Christ!  - Messiah! Christ!  
Today more than at any past time  - We await thy coming, 
with bated breath   
To heal our hearts, our minds,
Torn by conflict of unpredictable happenings   
Stricken, shaken beyond endurance. 

  We need thy soul-restoring peace
To revive our quivering faith
Assailed by fear and trepidation 
Lost in the wilderness of the world’s bitterness and spite   
We need thee more than ever now 
Messiah, Christ!   
To renew our failing spirits, to rejuvenate us 
With thy lasting peaceful comfort   
Which thou alone, can bestow.   

Our hopes upsurge with the prospect of thy advent   
Messiah Christ!   
For the dawn of grace and blessing
With the peaceful message of “Peace among men”   
Reverberating, peace,  peace and peace yet again.
