Composer: | William H. Walter (1825-1893) |
1 The advent of our God
With eager prayers we greet,
And singing haste upon His road
His coming reign to meet.
2 The everlasting Son
Was born to make us free;
And He a servant's form put on
To gain our liberty.
3 As Judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
His scattered people to unite
With them in heaven to reign.
4 Praise to the incarnate Son
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever one;
To all eternity.
