Advent Hymn (Watching Waiting Longing)

Verse 1

Heaven sent a child to save us light for all to seeHelpless baby mighty Savior holy mysteryUnto us a son is given born in BethlehemLamb of God the Light of nations God in flesh became

Chorus 1

Watching waiting longing for the dayWhen His people would glorifyThe Name above all names

Verse 2

For the joy that lay before Him chose our agonyJesus bore the wrath of Calv'ryWashing sinners cleanOur Messiah Christ our brother word of God in fleshLoosed the chains that held us captiveBroke the bonds of death

Verse 3

So we wait with expectation for His Advent hereBride of Christ His word proclaimedFor all the world to hearHe will come in clouds descendingAt the trumpet soundIn the light of Christ our SaviorEv'ry knee will bow

Chorus 2

Born in a manger dying on a treeRising Easter morning to set His people freeWe're watching waiting longing for the dayWhen all nations will glorifyThe Name above all names
