Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
The coming of our God
Our thoughts must now employ,
Then, let us meet Him on the road
With songs of holy joy.
VERSE 2
The coeternal Son,
A maiden's offspring see;
A servant's form Christ has put on,
To set His people free.
VERSE 3
Daughter of Zion, rise
To greet thine infant King;
Nor let thy stubborn heart despise
The pardon He doth bring.
VERSE 4
In glory from His throne
Again will Christ descend,
And summon all that are His own
To joys that never end.
VERSE 5
Let deeds of darkness fly
Before th'approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die,
And serve the virgin born.
VERSE 6
Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, that set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to Thee.
DESCANT
Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, that set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to Thee.
