Thunder in the desert!
Prepare God’s arrival!
Make the road smooth and straight!
Ev’ry ditch will be filled in,
Ev’ry bump smoothes out,
The detours straightened out,
All the ruts paved over.
Ev’ryone will be there to see
The parade of God’s salvation.

Born our king
In a stable stall,
Brings peace on Earth
Goodwill for all.
O peace of Christ,
Rule in our hearts;
Comfort of God,
Fill our ev’ry part.

O holy lamb,
Too young to die,
To bear my cross,
To entombed lie,
Save us Lord
From ev’ry sin.
A new life in you
Help us begin.
