1. We wait for Christ, our Advent Light,
a brightness like the sun:
we find a rabbi with a lamp
and ask, "Is this the One?"
2. We wait for Christ, the Lord of hosts,
a thousand battles won;
we find a stubborn man of peace
and ask, "Is this the One?"
3. We wait for Christ, our Advocate,
for justice swiftly done;
we find a friend of the oppressed
and ask, "Is this the One?"
4. We wait for Christ, the King of Kings,
a nation's favoured son;
we find instead a servant-sage
and ask, "Is this the One?"
5. And so he comes, again he comes,
and faith is yet begun
as open hearts are drawn to Christ,
the Unexpected One.
