Author: John Chandler; Charles Coffin Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The advent of our King
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must hymns of welcome sing
In strains of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant's form puts on
To set His servants free.
3 O Zion's Daughter, rise
To meet thy lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again
And His true members all unite
With Him in heav'n to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin's dark deeds be gone,
The old man all be put away,
The new man now put on.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One
Through all eternity.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Scripture: Zechariah 9:9 Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
