Advent tells us Christ is near

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.
