Just found this in one of my older hymnals. They just don't craft songs like this anymore.
The Coming of Our God
C. Coffin, 1676-1749. Tr R. Campbell, 1814-1868, and compilers
The coming of our God
Our thoughts must now employ
Then let us meet Him on the road
With songs of holy joy.
The co-eternal Son
A Maiden's offspring see;
A servant's form Christ putteth on
To set His people free
Daughter of Sion, rise
To greet thine infant King;
Nor let thy stubborn heart despise
The pardon he doth bring.
In glory from His throne
Again will Christ descend
And summon all that are His own
To joys that never end.
Let deeds of darkness fly
Before the approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die
And serve the Virgin-born.
Our joyful praises sing
To Christ, that set us free;
Like tribute to the Father bring,
And Holy Ghost, to Thee.
