PREPARE YE THE WAY

Prepare ye the way of the Lord,

Make his path straight, open the gate

That he may enter freely into our lives.

"Hosanna" we cry to his name.

For in his reign the poor will prosper,

He will judge in righteousness.

And he will crush, put down oppressors,

Give deliverance to the weak.

He falls like dew upon the flowers,

Like the rains that quench the earth.

And in his days, justice shall flourish,

He will be the Prince of peace.

May Jesus rule o'er land and ocean,

May his foes before Him bow.

Long may He live, His name enduring,

May all people bless His name.
