Advent
3 Then shall the pure of heart be blest;
As mild he comes to them,
As when upon the Virgin’s breast
He lay at Bethlehem:
4 As mild to meek-eyed love and faith,
Only more strong to save;
Strengthened by having bowed to death,
By having burst the grave.
5 Lord, who could dare see thee descend
It state, unless he knew
Thou art the sorrowing sinner's friend,
The gracious and the true?
6. Dwell in oar hearts, O Saviour blest;
So shall thine advent’s dawn
‘Twixt us and thee, our bosom-guest,
Be but the veil withdrawn.
