|
<p>Prepare the way, O Zion!<br>
|
|
Ye awful deeps, rise high;<br>
|
|
Sink low, ye towering mountains,<br>
|
|
The Lord is drawing nigh;<br>
|
|
The righteous King of glory,<br>
|
|
Foretold in sacred story.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">O blest is He that came<br>
|
|
In God the Father’s Name.</p>
|
|
<p>O Zion, He approacheth,<br>
|
|
Thy Lord and King for aye!<br>
|
|
Strew palms where He advanceth,<br>
|
|
Spread garments in His way.<br>
|
|
God’s promise faileth never,<br>
|
|
Hosanna sound forever!</p>
|
|
<p>Fling wide thy portals, Zion<br>
|
|
And hail thy glorious King;<br>
|
|
His tidings of salvation<br>
|
|
To every people bring,<br>
|
|
Who, waiting yet in sadness,<br>
|
|
Would sing His praise in gladness.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>He cometh not with warriors,<br>
|
|
And not with pomp and show,<br>
|
|
Yet smiteth He with terror<br>
|
|
Sin, death, and every foe.<br>
|
|
The Spirit’s sword He wieldeth,<br>
|
|
Not e’en to death He yieldeth.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Give heed, thou sinful people,<br>
|
|
Thy King and Savior own;<br>
|
|
The kingdom He hath founded<br>
|
|
Is not an earthly one;<br>
|
|
No power can overthrow it,<br>
|
|
Nor earthly wisdom know it.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The throne which He ascendeth<br>
|
|
Is fixed in heaven above:<br>
|
|
His sanctified dominion<br>
|
|
Is light alone and love.<br>
|
|
His praise be ever sounding<br>
|
|
For grace and peace abounding.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Jerusalem is fallen,<br>
|
|
And closed its temple door;<br>
|
|
Its sacrifices ended;<br>
|
|
Its scepter is no more.<br>
|
|
Christ’s kingdom never ceaseth,<br>
|
|
Its glory still increaseth.</p>
