From the recording King of My Heart
"Come To Us" is an Advent/Christmas hymn co-written with my wife, Mary. It is published in Choose Christ and Spirit & Song Vol. 3. The sheet music provides an Advent refrain and a Christmas refrain so that Come To Us can accompany our Advent pilgrimage all the way through the birth of Christ. A nice choral arrangement with instrumentals is available at OCP.com.

Lyrics
1. Scattered and broken
Bent in our way
We are your people
Gathered to praise you
A vineyard uprooted
Narrow in sight
Come child of glory
Come child of light
Come to us, O child of glory
And shine in our hearts
Come to us, O child of glory
And make us anew
We adore You, we adore You
We adore you, sweet child of glory
2. Come, Lord, our dayspring
Come from on high
As we your people
Gather to praise you
Unworthy to taste from
Your heavenly vine4
But your word will heal us
Come light divine
Come to us, O child of glory
And shine in our hearts
Come to us, O child of glory
And make us anew
We adore You, we adore You
We adore you, sweet child of glory
3. Come root of Jesse
Come David’s son
Come star of morning
We come to praise you
Hope of creation
Of all human kind
Reign over body, spirit and mind
Come to us, O child of glory
And shine in our hearts
Come to us, O child of glory
And make us anew
We adore You, we adore You
We adore you, sweet child of glory
We adore you, sweet child of glory
