[D]Darkness hangs the world is aching, [G]yearning for the [A]coming [G]light
[D]In his rising, hope awaking, [G]Love has come to [A]steal the [D]night.
[G]In our hearts true [A]east we're [D]facing, [G]Toward the [Em]coming [A]of our [D]Lord.
[G]Morning rising, [F#7]gloom now [Bm]fleeing, [Em]Christ returned! His [A]word is [D]true!
[D]As we wait with hope for rescue, [G]Love descends and [A]all is [G]well.
[D]Prophets tell "Your God with [G]us. Heaven's gift [A]Emmanuel".[D]
[G]He is here, but hid [A]as lowly, [D]In the [G]poor and myste[Em]ry. [A] [D]
[G]Where the bread [F#7]and wine [Bm]are of[Em]fered, He is here: our [A]God and [D]King.
[D]Parting clouds reveal his wonder: [G]Mighty King in victo[A]ry. [G]
[D]Trembling earth and rolling [G]thunder, Blazing [A]sun and qua[D]king sea.
[G]Now he comes our [A]King in glo[D]ry; Saitns [G]rejoice [Em]and dark[A]ness [D]flees.
[G]Rising rays of [F#7]light and [Bm]chariot, [Em]Chist the Lord has [A]made us [D]free.
[D]On us now the Son is shining, [G]Lifting us to his em[A]brace. [G]
[D]Shame is cursed, no more con[G]founding, Lift [A]your head and [D]know his face.
[G]Love incarnate [A]breath in dwel[D]ling, Now [G]in truth [Em]is [A]truth made [D]known.
[G]We are his and he [F#7]forever, [Bm]Is our [Em]God and he alone. [A] [D]
