Prayer to the Coming Saviour

Jesus, our Lord, save me from my sins.

Come, protect me from all dangers and lead me to salvation.

Come! Wisdom of our God Most High,

guiding creation with power and love:

teach me to walk in the paths of knowledge!

Come! Leader of ancient Israel,

giver of the Law of Moses on Sinai:

rescue me with Your might power!

Come! Flower of Jesse's stem,

sign of God's love for all His people:

save me without delay!

Come! Key of David,

opening the gates of God's eternal Kingdom:

free the prisoners of darkness!

Come, Emmanuel, God's presence among us, our King, our Judge:

save us, Lord our God!

Come, King of all nations,

source of Your Church's unity and faith:

save all mankind, Your own creation!

Come, Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, Sun of Justice:

shine on those lost in the darkness of death!

Come, Lord Jesus, do not delay;

give new courage to Your people who trust in Your love.

By Your coming, raise us to the joy of Your Kingdom,

where you live and reign with the Father

and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.

Amen.
