In the advent light, O Savior,

In the advent light, O Savior, I am living day by day; Waiting, working, watching ever, Knowing Thou are on Thy way.

Separated unto Jesus, Loosed from all the world beside; Blinded by the advent glory, Hour by hour would I abide.

So from glory unto glory, Gladdened by the advent ray; All the path is growing brighter, Shining unto perfect day.

In the advent light to witness To a dark and dying world; This the holy ordination; May His banner be unfurled.

In the advent light rejoicing; Songs of praise along the road Seem to make the journey shorter, Mounting upward to our God.

He is coming! He is coming! Pass the heavenly watchword on: Go ye forth to meet the Bridegroom, Hail! To God's anointed Son.

See the advent glory breaking; Faith will soon be lost in sight; Face to face I shall behold Him, Bathed in His eternal light.
