Advent 1st: The Advent of Our God - carol hymn

Join us on a musical journey through the Seasons of Christ: Advent 1st

The Advent of Our God (1676th year of our Lord)

The advent of our God, with eager prayer we greet,
And singing haste upon the road, his coming reign to meet.

The everlasting Son, came down to make us free,
And he a servant's form put on to gain our liberty.

O Sion's daughter rise, to meet your lowly king.
Let not your faithless heart despise the peace he comes to bring.

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

Then evil flee away, before the rising dawn!
Let this old Adam day by day, God's image still put on.

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