1 The Advent of our God
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must meet Him on His road
With hymns of holy joy.
2 The Everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant’s form puts on
To set His people free.
3 Daughter of Zion, rise
To meet thy lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
And all His scattered saints unite
With Him in heaven to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin’s dark deeds be gone;
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on!
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity.
