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.
