1. Nāc, mans Jēzu, ilgi gaidīts, dzimis tautas atbrīvot,
grēka važas no mums raisīt, savu mieru starp mums nest.

2. Visu tautu spēks un stiprums, visu ļaužu cerība:
piepildi Tu visas sirdis, kas pēc Tevis ilgojas.

3. Dzimi, lai mūs atpestītu, Cilvēks – Dievs un Karali,
dzimi, valdītu lai mūsos, debesīs mus vadītu.
Amen.
