Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: CH2014 #85 (2014) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The coming of our God
Our thoughts must now employ;
Then let us meet Him on the road
With songs of holy joy.
2 The coeternal Son,
A maiden's offspring see;
A servant's form Christ putteth on,
To set His people free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To greet thine infant King;
Nor let thy stubborn heart despise
The pardon He doth bring.
4 In glory from His throne
Again will Christ descend,
And summon all that are His own
To joys that never end.
5 Let deeds of darkness fly
Before the approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die,
And serve the Virgin born.
6 Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, that set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to Thee.
