English text
- 1.
- 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.
- 2.
- 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!
- Refrain:
- 3.
- 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:
- 4.
- 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:
- 5.
- 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:
- 6.
- 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:
- 7.
- 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:
