1. The advent of our God
Our pray'rs must now employ,
And we must meet him on his road
With hymns of holy joy.

2. The everlasting Son
Incarnate soon shall be;
He will a servant's form put on
To make his people free.

3. Daughter of Zion, rise,
And greet your lowly King,
And do not wickedly despise
The mercies he will bring.

4. As judge, in clouds of light,
He will come down again,
And all his scattered saints unite
With him in Heav’n to reign.

5. Before that dreadful day
May all our sins be gone;
May the old self be put away,
And the new self put on!

6. Praise to the Savior Son
From all the angel host;
Like praise be to the Father done,
And to the Holy Ghost.
