Advent Song

Upon the air an Imminence of celebration wings

Come one all as we prepare for heaven’s King of kings

The advent of a Savior from the curse of Adam’s race

Where hearts regain love’s favor through the power of God’s grace

Beyond the ever-winnowing rudiment we call Time

The Hope of Man is founded and grounded in The Sublime

Come, join the noise of joy we raise to He who hears our cry

And lent to earth His heaven-boy, God’s love to satisfy

Surely this love that saves us is a universal song

For God so rich in mercy gave us Jesus, His own Son

Come, no one is exempt from Hope beyond death’s cold, dark grave

But whosoever will believe in Jesus He will save

Upon the air an Imminence of Holy Advent hails

For Christ the Lord, Emmanuel, for Love that never fails

Prepare the Way for He who comes, not to be born again

But to unveil His kingdom, power and glory, Amen
