1 The advent of our God
With eager prayers we greet;
With humble hearts we shall go forth,
God's glorious gift to meet.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant's form puts on
To set all people free.
3 O Zion's daughter, rise
To meet your lowly King.
Let not your faithless heart despise
The peace he comes to bring.
4 As Judge, on clouds of light,
Christ soon will come again,
And all the scattered saints unite,
In heav'n with Christ to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin's dark deeds be gone;
The old self all be put away,
The new self all put on.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity.

2 The everlasting Son
Was born to make us free;
And He a servant's form put on
To gain our liberty.
3 As Judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
His scattered people to unite
With them in heaven to reign.
4 Praise to the incarnate Son
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever one;
To all eternity.
Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #1171 THE advent of our God
With eager prayers we greet,
And singing haste upon the road
His glorious gift to meet.
2 The everlasting Son
Scorns not the Virgin's womb;
That we from bondage may be won
He bears a bondsman's doom.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet thy lowly King;
Let not thy stubborn heart despise
The peace he comes to bring.
4 On clouds of dazzling light,
As judge he comes again,
His scattered people to unite,
With him in heaven to reign.
5 Let evil flee away,
Ere that great hour shall dawn,
Let this old Adam day by day
The new Man all put on.
6 Praise to the incarnate Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father and with Spirit One,
To all eternity. Amen.
