Prepare the way, O Zion
Your Christ is drawing near
Let every hill and valley
A level way appear
Greet One who comes in glory
Foretold in sacred story
O blest is Christ that came
In God’s most holy name
He brings God’s rule O Zion
He comes from heaven above
His rule is peace and freedom
And justice truth and love
Lift high your praise resounding
For grace and joy abounding
O blest is Christ that came
In God’s most holy name
Fling wide your gates O Zion
Your Savior’s rule embrace
And tidings of salvation
Proclaim in every place
All lands will bow rejoicing
their adoration voicing
O blest is Christ that came
In God’s most holy name
