Advent

in the silence
in the secret
I can feel it very strong

like a whisper
in the darkness
something's coming with the dawn

though the masses
stop their hearing
not a soul will miss the song

from each hovel
to rich tower
His truth will triumph wrong

my pilgrim way
can lonely seem
yet know there stands a throng

the millions upon
millions wait
in whose ranks I do belong

the day now fades
I hold to hope
my Love won't tarry long

I'll fly away
eternal light
"Come quickly, Lord" my song
