Prepare the Way! the Prophet Called
Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-5 First Line: “Prepare the way!” the prophet called Lyrics: 1 “Prepare the way!” the prophet called;
a messenger will come
to reaffirm God’s covenant,
and lead the people home.
The truth will shine like purest fire
in that awaited hour.
Come, Jesus Christ! You are the way;
renew us with your pow’r.
2 “Prepare the way!” cried John to all
beside the Jordan stream.
All flesh will see God’s saving work,
the prophets’ ancient dream.
The valleys and the mountaintops
will make a level place.
Come, Jesus Christ! You are the way;
restore us with your grace.
3 Prepare the way in us, O God,
to greet that glorious day
when righteousness and peace will reign,
and death will pass away.
The risen one will come again,
descending from above.
Come, Jesus Christ! You are the way;
redeem us with your love. Topics: Covenant; John the Baptist; New Creation; Peace; Prophets; Reign of Christ Used With Tune: CAROL Text Sources: Christian Register, 1849, alt.
