¶Lyrics / Text

The advent of our King our prayers must now employ, and we must hymns of welcome sing in strains of holy joy. The everlasting Son incarnate deigns to be; himself a servant’s form puts on, to set his servants free. Daughter of Sion, rise to meet thy lowly King; nor let thy faithless heart despise the peace he comes to bring. As Judge, on clouds of light, he soon will come again, and his true members all unite with him in heaven to reign. All glory to the Son who comes to set us free, with Father, Spirit, ever One, through all eternity.
