Prepare the way, O Zion! Ye awful deeps, rise high; Sink low, ye towering mountains, The Lord is drawing nigh; The righteous King of glory, Foretold in sacred story. Refrain O blest is He that came In God the Father's Name. O Zion, He approacheth, Thy Lord and King for aye! Strew palms where He advanceth, Spread garments in His way. God's promise faileth never, Hosanna sound forever! Fling wide thy portals, Zion And hail thy glorious King; His tidings of salvation To every people bring, Who, waiting yet in sadness, Would sing His praise in gladness. Refrain He cometh not with warriors, And not with pomp and show, Yet smiteth He with terror Sin, death, and every foe. The Spirit's sword He wieldeth, Not e'en to death He yieldeth. Refrain Give heed, thou sinful people, Thy King and Savior own; The kingdom He hath founded Is not an earthly one; No power can overthrow it, Nor earthly wisdom know it. Refrain The throne which He ascendeth Is fixed in heaven above: His sanctified dominion Is light alone and love. His praise be ever sounding For grace and peace abounding. Refrain Jerusalem is fallen, And closed its temple door; Its sacrifices ended; Its scepter is no more. Christ's kingdom never ceaseth, Its glory still increaseth. Refrain
