O come, Thou Dayspringcome and cheerOur spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of nightAnd death’s dark shadows put to flight
O come, Thou Wisdom from on highAnd order all things, far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge showAnd cause us in her ways to go
O come, Desire of nations, bindAll peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels ceaseFill the whole worldwith heaven’s peace
