955--In the advent light, O Savior,

In the advent light, O Savior,

955

	1.	In the advent light, O Savior,
		I am living day by day;
		Waiting, working, watching ever,
		Knowing Thou are on Thy way.
	2.	Separated unto Jesus,
		Loosed from all the world beside;
		Blinded by the advent glory,
		Hour by hour would I abide.
	3.	So from glory unto glory,
		Gladdened by the advent ray;
		All the path is growing brighter,
		Shining unto perfect day.
	4.	In the advent light to witness
		To a dark and dying world;
		This the holy ordination;
		May His banner be unfurled.
	5.	In the advent light rejoicing;
		Songs of praise along the road
		Seem to make the journey shorter,
		Mounting upward to our God.
	6.	He is coming! He is coming!
		Pass the heavenly watchword on:
		Go ye forth to meet the Bridegroom,
		Hail! to God's anointed Son.
	7.	See the advent glory breaking;
		Faith will soon be lost in sight;
		Face to face I shall behold Him,
		Bathed in His eternal light.
