We hasten thy advance to meet; With vivid joy the sign we greet,

That, brightens in the sky;

The peaceful sign of heavenly love, Which, like the holy mystic dove, Declares Messiah nigh. 3

Behold! he comes in triumph now; Before him see the mountains bow; And all the valleys rise:

He comes, with majesty and grace, To sanctify the human race, And raise them to the skies.

We'll aid thy triumphs, mighty King;

The glories of thy Cross we'll sing,

And shout salvation round; Till ev'ry nation, ev'ry land,

From Greenland's shore to Afric's strand, Shall echo back the sound.

Let earth commence the lofty praise; Let heav'n prolong th'enraptur'd lays;. Swell ev'ry tuneful lyre:

Bright Seraphs chaunt th'immortal song, And pour the bounding notes along ,. From heaven's eternal choir.
