1 The advent of our King
Our thoughts must now employ;
Then let us meet him on the road
With songs of holy joy.
2 The co-eternal Son
A maiden's offspring see;
A servant's form Christ putteth on,
To set his people free.
3 In glory from his throne
Again will Christ descend,
And summon all who are his own
To joys that never end.
4 Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, who set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to thee.
