The highway of the King;
Let mountains sink, let valleys rise,
And shouts of rapture ring.
Refrain:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
Make straight in the desert,
Make straight in the desert,
A highway for our God.
2 Let desert isles lift up their heads,
Let desert lands rejoice;
Let all the earth in songs of praise,
Unite the heart and voice. [Refrain]
3 The glory of the Prince of Peace
Shall cover all the earth;
And shining wings the tidings bear
O our Redeemer’s birth. [Refrain]
4 The world before Him shall appear,
Responsive to His call;
And nations bending at His feet
Shall crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 Languages: English Tune Title: [The highway of the Lord prepare]
