Advent Hymn.

ETERNAL Father, hear ! Haste to fulfill Thy word ! Let Israel's Hope appear ! Reveal to earth her Lord ! We wait for Jesus from the skies;— When shall His glories greet our eyes ?
How long shall Death yet reign, And Hell our race oppress ? When shall earth bloom again In Eden's blessedness ?— We wait for Jesus from the skies;— When shall His glories greet our eyes ?
The waves of ill are high ; The world with trouble reels ; All lands and creatures cry ;— Speed Judgment's chariot-wheels ! We wait for Jesus from the skies !— When shall His glories greet our eyes ?
The times are prophets now ; They preach impending doom ; Let each, repentant, bow, And saints prepare for home. We wait for Jesus from the skies;— Soon shall His glories greet our eyes.
Hail to the dawning day, By holy seers foretold !— Hail to Messiah's sway, One Shepherd and one fold. We wait for Jesus from the skies;— Soon shall His glories greet our eyes.—Sel.
