May You Find A Light from Josh Garrel’s album The Light Came Down.

The lyrics:

Lost and weary traveler,
Searching for the way to go
Stranger, heavy-hearted,
Longing for someone to know

May you find a light
May you find a light
May you find a light to guide you home.

There are weary travelers,
Searching everywhere you go
Strangers who are searching,
Longing deeply to be known

Lord Have Mercy from Rachel Wilhelm’s album Requium.

The lyrics:

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy on us.

In the day of our distress, oh Lord, shall we see you?
In our hearts we wait for you; oh Lord, shall we hear you?
In the night our hands are raised; oh Lord, shall we know you?

Words and Music: Kate Bluett and Rachel Wilhelm, (c) 2020.

I’ve enjoyed the recordings of trio Ordinary Time for years.
Some tracks from their earliest recording have been re-recorded with fuller instrumental backing and released as an EP.
Come To Us, Emmanuel, was originally on their debut album In The Town Of David.

The lyrics:

1.
Come to us, Immanuel
We wait for thee with bated breath
And hope filled hearts
And anxious minds
Longing to see your face
And worship at your feet
2.
Isaiah’s vision didst unfold
When you descended into this world
to bring good news
and set the prisoners free
you set aside eternity
so that we might live
3.
so come to us Imannuel
we live in hope of your return
to bring new life
to this old world
to end all wars and to heal all hearts
and to reign forevermore
to reign forevermore
