FIRST HYMN
Prepare the Way, O Zion
Words by Frans Mikael Franzen (1772-1847)
Prepare the way, O Zion;
your Christ is drawing near!
Let ev’ry hill and valley a level way appear.
Greet One who comes in glory,
foretold in sacred story.
Oh, blest is Christ that came in God’s most holy name.
He brings God’s rule, O Zion;
he comes from heav’n above.
His rule is peace and freedom,
and justice, peace, and love.
Lift high your praise resounding, for grace and joy
abounding.
Oh, blest is Christ that came in God’s most holy name.
Fling wide your gates, O Zion;
your Saviour’s rule embrace.
His tidings of salvation proclaim in ev’ry place.
All lands will bow before him, their voices will adore him.
Oh, blest is Christ that came in God’s most holy name.

Psalm 43: 3-4 O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

All: We are here to praise God with all we have. One: Today we light the candle of Joy.
