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