[Verse 1] The advent of our King Our prayers must now employ, And we must hymns of welcome sing In strains of holy joy. [Verse 2] The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be; Himself a servant's form puts on To set His servants free. [Verse 3] O Zion's Daughter, rise To meet thy lowly King, Nor let thy faithless heart despise The peace He comes to bring. [Verse 4] As judge, on clouds of light He soon will come again And His true members all unite With Him in heaven to reign. [Verse 5] Before the dawning day Let sin's dark deeds be gone, The old man all be put away, The new man all put on. [Verse 6] All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever One, Through all eternity.
