First Week

 

O Jesus Christ, Emmanuel,

Come and dwell with us.

Desire of all nations;

Gift to every generation,

Come; make Your Home with us.

 

All nations, everybody,

Is waiting for you,

Children of all ages and races,

The world over are waiting for you.

 

 

Second Week

 

O Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace,

Come and save your people,

You are Joy, You are Strength,

Come quickly to help us.

 

Prince of Peace,

Teach my parents and my siblings,

To always live in peace & love.

Teach my friends to always

Get along, teach every country

The importance of peace,

Teach everyone how to

Live in peace.

 

 

Third Week

 

O Jesus Christ,

Key of David,

Always be at our side.

Keep us save from all danger.

Come deliver us from evil.

 

King David was a mighty King

Who built a city long ago.

He left a key that

Jesus found in the manger hay.

Key of David, Jesus Christ,

Open heaven's gates for us.

 

 

Fourth Week

 

O Jesus Christ, Holy Wisdom,

Come and teach us your way.

Word of life, Word made flesh,

Come, speak your truth.

 

Jesus, come and teach me,

How to sing and play,

How to learn new words;

Tell me what to say.

Teach me how to be a child,

For you know the way.
