1 The voice of Him that cri­eth in the wild­er­ness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
Behold, the Lord is com­ing in His right­eous­ness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord.

Refrain:
Prepare ye the way, pre­pare ye the way,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
Behold, the Lord is com­ing in His right­eous­ness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord.

2 Make straight the high­way in the des­ert for our God,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
Behold, the gar­ments of His Son are dipped in blood,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord. [Refrain]

3 He’s coming to His thresh­ing floor with fan in hand,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
Behold, He cast­eth out oppress­ion from the land,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord. [Refrain]

4 My brother, are you rea­dy, is your ar­mor bright?
Prepare ye the way of the Lord;
Behold! He quick­ly com­eth, trim your lamp to­night,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord. [Refrain]
