Are you celebrating advent?!

“Lift up the Advent strain!

Behold the Lord is nigh!

Greet His approach, ye saints, again,

With hymns of holy joy.

The everlasting Son

Incarnate deigns to be;

Our God the form of slave puts on,

A race of slaves to free.

Daughter of Zion, rise

To meet thy lowly King!

Nor let the faithless heart despise

The peace He comes to bring.

As Judge, in clouds of light,

He shall come down again,

And all His scattered saints unite

With Him in heaven to reign.

Before that dreadful day,

May all our sins be gone;

The old man all be put away,

The new man all put on.”
