And those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Isaiah 35:10

Thought

We leave the already of His Advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming. (Robert Charles Sproul)

1. Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King! (3x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We are going to see the King!

2. No more crying there
We are going to see the King! (3x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We are going to see the King!

3. No more dying there
We are going to see the King! (3x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We are going to see the King!

4. Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King! (3x)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
We are going to see the King!

Prayer

O Christ the King, the sweetness of the manger in the past is mingled with a present bitterness for the future. I long for the promised hopes in You to be fulfilled, from the resurrection and eternal life to the fullness of Your Kingdom. In returning to things of old in this blessed Advent season, let me find a sweetness in things to come with joyful expectation. Amen.
