Prepare The Way, O Zion!
Ye Awful Deeps, Rise High;
Sink Low, Ye Towering Mountains,
The Lord Is Drawing Nigh;
The Righteous King Of Glory,
Foretold In Sacred Story.
O Blest Is He That Came
In God The Fathers Name.
O Zion, He Approacheth,
Thy Lord And King For Aye!
Strew Palms Where He Advanceth,
Spread Garments In His Way.
Gods Promise Faileth Never,
Hosanna Sound Forever!
Fling Wide Thy Portals, Zion
And Hail Thy Glorious King;
His Tidings Of Salvation
To Every People Bring,
Who, Waiting Yet In Sadness,
Would Sing His Praise In Gladness.
He Cometh Not With Warriors,
And Not With Pomp And Show,
Yet Smiteth He With Terror
Sin, Death, And Every Foe.
The Spirits Sword He Wieldeth,
Not Even To Death He Yieldeth.
Give Heed, Thou Sinful People,
Thy King And Savior Own;
The Kingdom He Hath Founded
Is Not An Earthly One;
No Power Can Overthrow It,
Nor Earthly Wisdom Know It.
The Throne Which He Ascendeth
Is Fixed In Heaven Above:
His Sanctified Dominion
Is Light Alone And Love.
His Praise Be Ever Sounding
For Grace And Peace Abounding.
Jerusalem Is Fallen,
And Closed Its Temple Door;
Its Sacrifices Ended;
Its Scepter Is No More.
Christs Kingdom Never Ceaseth,
Its Glory Still Increaseth.
