For we who are in anguish
There shall be no gloom,
For he who was long promised
Dwelt within the womb.

For we who walk in darkness
There shall be a light,
For he who is the sunrise
Shines into the night.

For we who famine suffer
A grand feast awaits,
For the Lord of the banquet
Flings open the gates.

For we who carry burdens
All shall be relieved,
For one gentle and lowly
Comforts the bereaved.

For we who wield shield and sword
The battle shall end,
For the Prince of Peace has come,
By his wounds he’ll mend.
