117- The Advent of Our God

Jesus Christ: First Advent

1

The advent of our God
With eager prayers we greet,
And singing haste upon His road
His coming reign to meet.

2

The everlasting Son
Was born to make us free;
And He a servant's form put on
To gain our liberty.

3

As Judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
His scattered people to unite
With them in heaven to reign.

4

Praise to the incarnate Son
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever one;
To all eternity.
