Prepare the Way

Anders Öhrwall (b. 1932)

Prepare the way, O Zion
Ye awful deeps rise high
Sink low ye lofty mountains
The Lord is drawing nigh
The righteous King of Glory
Foretold in sacred story
Oh blest is he that came
In God the Father’s name.

Swing wide your portals Zion
And hail your glorious King,
His tidings of salvation
To every people bring.
Who, waiting still in sadness
Would sing his praise with gladness
O blest is he that came
In God the Father’s name
