Emerald Hymns album Psalms, Hymns, & Spiritual Songs released during the week. (More on that tomorrow.)
To celebrate here’s the first track, Come Messiah, Come.

The lyrics:

Lord, hear my prayer,
and let my cry come before you;
Hide not your face from me
in my day of trouble.
Incline your ear to me;
when I call, answer me;
Days drift away like smoke,
my bones are hot as coals.

Come Messiah, come.
Come Messiah, come.

I’m like a vulture
in my own wilderness;
lone desert owl,
I fly above desolate lands
I lie awake and groan;
cast aside, all alone.
All day my enemies,
armed with hate, curse my name.

Come Messiah, come.
Come Messiah, come.

But you, O Lord,
you are enthroned forevermore;
you are remembered
throughout all generations.
You will arise and have
compassion for Zion;
for it is time to grant
unto her your favor.

Come Messiah, come.
Come Messiah, come.
