Advent Of Our God, The

The advent of our God

Our prayers must now employ,

And we must meet Him on His road

With hymns of holy joy.

The everlasting Son

Incarnate deigns to be;

Himself a servant's form puts on

To set His people free.

Daughter of Zion, rise

To meet thy lowly King,

Nor let thy faithless heart despise

The peace He comes to bring.

As Judge, on clouds of light,

He soon will come again,

And all His scattered saints unite

With Him in Heaven to reign.

Before the dawning day

Let sin's dark deeds be gone;

The old man all be put away,

The new man all put on.

All glory to the Son

Who comes to set us free,

With Father, Spirit, ever One,

Through all eternity.
