EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
Refrain: COME-ON LORD, COME-ON LORD JESUS. CAUSE YOUR-lf PEOPLE HOPE. COME-ON LORD, COME-ON LORD JESUS. LEAD YOUR-lf PEOPLE HOME INDEX-Heaven.
1. YOU-lf LORD CONTROL LIGHT-SHINE-DOWN, MAKE NIGHT BECOME BRIGHT. RIGHT WAY, MANY PEOPLE STRAY-LEFT-AND-RIGHT. COME-ON SUNRISE, SHINE-DOWN-ON-us US. DARK GONE, NO-MORE. Refrain

Notes: COME-ON - (2h)[B^] move in circles pivoting at the wrists to beckon someone to do something.
LIGHT-SHINE-DOWN - [O^] is held high PO > signer; hands open to [5^] while moving > signer.
STRAY-LEFT-AND-RIGHT - like the sign OFF-THE-POINT but the DH flicks index finger to one side and then to the other side; it's another way to sign the concept "sin".STRIVE-FOR-GOAL - Hands are oriented like the sign GOAL but the DH moves in a vertical circle as if trying to get to the goal, but not yet successful.
NO-MORE - (2h)[B], POs down, cross at wrists, then uncross moving horizontally and emphatically. For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - don't.
(2h)#ALL - (2h)[A], POs ><, FOs up, move away while opening to (2h)[L].
OPPRESSION-OFF - Starts like PRESSURE, DH [B], PO down, FO away, push down slightly on [S], PO > DS, FO away, then the DH is brought upwards suddenly and the signer mouths "off".
Lyrics:
Refrain: Come Lord, Come Lord Jesus. Give your people hope. Come Lord, Come Lord Jesus, and lead your people home.
1. O Lord fill the night. Many have lost their way. O Rising Dawn, shine upon us, darkness shall be no more.
2. O King of Kings, love you bring. The world is made anew. O Prince of Peace, make us free, justice for humankind.
3. O Comforter, rescue us. Destroy our sinfulness. O Counselor, mighty Lord, teach us what we must know.
4. Emmanuel, Emmanuel, promised so long ago. Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Go is withu sat last.
