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
And greet thy 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 heaven to reign.
5 Before that dreadful day
May all our sins be gone;
May the old man be put away,
And the new man 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.
