“Prepare the way, O Zion; your Christ is drawing near! Let every hill and valley, a level way appear. Greet One who comes in glory, foretold in sacred story, O, blest is Christ that came, in God’s most holy name!” Oh glory be to God!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, this is the season of hope. Allow no one take your hope, for as long as we have God, we have hope; and we could look forward to his coming with joy. “He brings God’s rule, O Zion; He comes from heaven above, His rule is peace and freedom, and justice, peace, and love. Lift high your praise resounding, for grace and joy abounding; O, blest is Christ that came, in God’s most holy name. Fling wide your gates, O Zion; your Savior’s rule embrace; His tidings of salvation, proclaim in every place. All lands will bow before him, their voices will adore him. O, blest is Christ that came, in God’s most holy name!
