Written by living hymn-poet Brian Wren and composed by Leo Nestor
Sung by the Freudig Singers at The American Christmas Pie Concerts 2011
Who comes? A child, delivered on a stable floor.
His mewing, newborn cry is all that God can say
of hunger, thirst and aching need
where Jesus lives today.
Come, singing fire of truth, compassion, right,
and scorch our hardened apathy
till love is new and bright.
Who comes? A Jew declaiming from a prophet’s scroll.
His messianic cry is all that God can say
of freedom, health and saving hope
where Jesus lives today.
Come, singing breeze from worlds already, new.
Blow in and out of weary minds
till faith is singing too.
Who comes? A man, in dying moments on a cross.
his God-forsaken cry is all that God can say
of searching, scarred, redeeming love
where Jesus lives today.
Come, singing light from new creation’s dawn,
where trees of healing deck the streets
and joy is newly born.
