Then shall God's mercy from on high shine forth and never cease to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace. Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN

Speak unto Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell of all the sins I cover, And that warfare now is over. 2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all to full repentance Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet him And the hills bow down to greet him. 3 O make straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token That his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Used With Tune: GENEVA 42
