Lo! the Light to them denied!
See its beams to earth directed!
Welcome, O Thou long-expected!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
He, the Saviour sent from heaven,
Once through faith to Abram given,
Israel’s Sun and glorious King,
Hope to which the heathen cling,
Now on earth with men abiding,
Comes to Zion meekly riding;
