[Verse 1] Long have we wandered under the night, Carrying embers, waiting for light, Heaven seems distant, silent and still, Yet through the darkness moves Your will. [Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. [Verse 2] Come, Holy Wisdom, ancient and true, Order our footsteps, make all things new, Teach us the pathway mercy has trod, Lead every searching heart unto God. [Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. [Verse 3] Come, Mighty Shepherd, gather Your own, Call every exile home to Your throne, Carry the wounded, strengthen the weak, Give to the voiceless courage to speak. [Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. [Verse 4] Come, Root of Jesse, rise from the earth, Promise remembered, hidden in birth, Flower of David, tender and small, Born in the shadows, Savior of all. [Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. [Verse 5] Come, Key of David, open the way, Break every prison that holds us today, Lead us from valleys heavy with fear, Open the kingdom, draw heaven near. [Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. [Verse 6] Come, Morning Star, before there is dawn, Shine where the hope of the world has gone, Enter the sorrow no eye can see, Wake us from darkness, set captives free. [Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. [Verse 7] Come, Prince of Peace, where nations divide, Stand with the stranger cast to the side, Quiet the anger, humble the proud, Speak with a mercy stronger than crowds. [Final Refrain] Come through the silence, Emmanuel, Come where the weary and broken dwell, Lift up the lowly, answer our cry, God, be among us, draw ever nigh. Come through the silence, promised Son, Come, Holy Child, the waiting is done, Heaven bends low where Bethlehem lies— God is among us. Hope has arrived.
