Advent tells us Christ is near; Christmas tells us Christ is here! In Epiphany we trace All the glory of his grace. | Those three Sundays before Lent Will prepare us to repent, That in Lent we may begin Earnestly to mourn for sin. | Holy Week and Easter, then, Tell who died and rose again: O that happy Easter Day! "Christ is risen indeed," we say. | Yes, and Christ ascended, too, To prepare a place for you; So we give him special praise, After those great forty days. | Then, he sent the Holy Ghost, On the day of Pentecost, With us ever to abide: Well may we keep Whitsuntide! | Last of all, we humbly sing Glory to our God and King, Glory to the One in Three, On the Feast of Trinity. | |
