Bring Shalom 

Advent or Christmas Season

 

Tune: Un Flambeau

Meter: 9. 9. 10. 9. 9. 8.

 

         1. Bring, O Prince of Peace, divine justice.

         Bring justice to our everyday lives.

         You are an infant born in a stable.

         Lay in the hay our precious Savior.

         Peace!  Peace! 

         Born to bring Shalom to all.

         Now!  Now!

         Now and forevermore.

 

         2. Bring your love Divine One now with us.

         Bring your love to the places of hurt.

         You indeed know our dearest of yearnings.

         Deep in our hearts today be present.

         Love! Love!

         The darkness shatters, scatters.

         Come, Come!

         Come, O Emmanuel.

 

         3. Bring your torch, O Wonderful Couns’lor.

         Healing bring to a sin-broken world.

         Come in our midst uniting all peoples.

         Arms reaching out welcome the strangers.

         Star! Star!

         Bethlehem’s longed for promise

         Shine! Shine!

         Now and forevermore.
