The Advent by John Ireland

John IrelandThe Advent Lyrics
No sudden thing of glory and fear
Was the Lord's coming; but the dear
Slow Nature's days followed each other
To form the Saviour from his Mother
One of the children of the year
The earth, the rain, received the trust
The sun and dews, to frame the Just
He drew his daily life from these
According to his own decrees
Who makes man from the fertile dust
Sweet summer and the winter wild
These brought hirn forth, the Undefiled
The happy Springs renewed again
His daily bread, the growing grain
The food and raiment of the Child
