Lyrics
Behold, a mighty prophet comes in might and power to save; King and shepherd, Prince of Peace. Alleluia.
Behold, the Lord will come to save the nations, and the glory of his voice will sound upon the mountains. Alleluia.
O light in darkness shining; sun of righteousness arise.
The dew of heaven falls softly like the rain upon the mown grass. O Lord, prepare within a barren heart, a peaceful place, wherein may ever grow that blissful flower. Alleluia.
O Zion’s sons and daughters, hasten forth to greet your Lord.
Rise up, O Jerusalem, stand upon the heights.
Rejoice and sing ye nations as your Savior draweth nigh. Alleluia.
