E. M. Grimes (285/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

E. M. Grimes In the Advent Light, O Saviour, I am living day by day; Waiting, working, watching ever, Knowing Thou art 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.
