Christ The Lord

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