Hymn 193
In the Advent Light, O Saviour
- In the Advent Light, O Saviour,
I am living day by day;
Waiting, working, watching ver.
Knowing Thou art on Thy way.
- "Separated" unto Jesus,
"Loosed" from all the world beside;
Blinded by the Advent glory.
Hour by hour would 1 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 tile heav'nly 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" 1 shall behold Him
Bathed in His eternal light!
Christly Living
