I hear a voice Crying out in the desert Prepare a road Prepare for the Lord Make straight His paths For He is coming And very soon You will behold the Savior Praise Him, Jerusalem Praise the Lord your God He has strengthened your gates And blessed your children He has filled you with peace And brings you The bread of heaven He sends forth His word His voice runs swiftly From the mist The veil descends Uniting Earth and Heaven The clouds dissolve The wind moves forward Praise Him, Jerusalem Praise the Lord your God He has strengthened your gates And blessed your children He has filled you with peace And brings you The bread of heaven To His people He revealed words of love He gave us His law And His commandment With no one else Did He act this way He loved us all He loved us to the end The virgin mother shall be A child she will bring forth His name: Emmanuel God from heaven with us He will reject all evil And choose what is good Let us praise the Father in heaven And sing to the One who comes And offer our praise to the Divine The Three who are one God Let His people exalt Him
