Prepare the way, O Zion, Your Christ is drawing near!
Let every hill and valley A level way appear.
Greet one who came in glory Fortold in sacred story.

O blessed is Christ that came In God's most holy name.

Christ 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 blessed 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 blessed is Christ that came In God's most holy name.
