Come Emmanuel / Come O Jesus

This is a simple Advent hymn.  It is set out in verse/chorus format, but it can also be used used as a round.  The very simple tune makes it suitable for children, but the chorus-lyrics have enough depth to make it suitable for all age-groups.

The author and composer are unknown, and no on-line examples have been found:   please leave a message in the Comments box at the bottom of the page if you know where one can be located.

Lyrics

Chorus:
     Come O Jesus, come Emmanuel.
     Come O Jesus, come Emmanuel.

To the barren deserts,
Come Emmanuel.
Water them with seeds of life,
Come Emmanuel.

To the cries of suffering,
Come Emmanuel.
Touch them with your healing love,
Come Emmanuel.

To the trouble-hearted,
Come Emmanuel.
Bring your peace and justice,
Come Emmanuel.
