The Advent of our God

New Window External  Karaoke (Quicktime)

(short introduction)

The Advent of our God
our prayers must now employ.
And we must meet God on the Road
with hymns of Holy joy.

The everlasting Child
incarnate deigns to be.
Selects a servant's life to live,
God's people to set free.

Before the dawning day
let sin's dark deeds be gone,
and all our old life put away,
our new life to begun.

All glory to the Christ
who comes to set us free,
with God and Spirit ever One
throughout eternity
