1.The advent of our God
Shall be our theme for prayer
Come, let us meet him on the road
And place for Him prepare.

2.The everlasting Son
Incarnate stoops to be,
Himself the servant's form puts on
To set His people free.

3.Come, Zion's daughter, rise
To meet your lowly King,
Nor let your faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.

4.As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again
And all His scattered saints unite
With Him on high to reign.

5.Before the dawning day
Let sin be put to flight;
No longer let the law hold sway,
But walk in freedom's light.
