The Advent of Our God

The advent of our God

Our pray'rs must now employ,

And we must meet him on his road

With hymns of holy joy.

The everlasting Son

Incarnate soon shall be;

He will a servant's form put on

To make his people free.

Daughter of Zion, rise,

And greet your lowly King,

And do not wickedly despise

The mercies he will bring.

As judge, in clouds of light,

He will come down again,

And all his scattered saints unite

With him in Heav’n to reign.

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.
