Another one of my favourite traditional Advent hymns. I tried to find an a cappella version as this hymn is performed during the Advent Lessons in Carols at my parish but this version is also very beautiful and moving.
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.O Christ, whom nations sigh for,
Whom priest and prophet long foretold,
Come break the captive fetters;
Redeem the long-lost fold.
