Advent Glory
Christian Song Lyrics
the day is fast approaching when the savior shall appear,
and every eye his glory shall behold;
the tokens of his coming fill the loyal heart with cheer
though strife abounds and love is waxing cold.
refrain
we’ll see him as he is,
and the brightness of his glory we shall share;
we’ll see him as he is,
and the likeness of his image we shall bear.
in all his father’s glory, clothed in majesty unveiled,
with myriads of the shining angel band,
the king descends triumphant in whose might we have prevailed,
and all the ransomed rise at his command.
refrain
oh, may we all as sons of light be watching unto prayer,
for surely our redemption draweth nigh;
with holy zeal and patient faith, let every soul prepare
to join the advent chorus in the sky.
refrain
