HYMN - True Son of God, Eternal Light
Advent
True Son of God, Eternal Light,
Come down to earth, illume the night!
Cancel the curse of Paradise,
Haste Thou to pay Redemption’s price!
Four thousand years was hope delayed,
While devils mocked, and prophets prayed;
Four thousand years a cheerless gloom
Held all the earth in sin and doom.
O Long-Desired of Nations, haste!
Lo, demons lay Thy Kingdom waste:
See hands outstretched for help in vain,
Hear cries of woe, despair, and pain!
O Lord of Hosts, we pray Thee, come!
Put down the pow'rs of heathendom;
Rise up in all Thy matchless might,
Drive back the troops of hell in flight!
God's Kingdom come, His will be done!
May all men serve the Triune One;
Sing hymns of thanks, thou sainted host,
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
