THE COMING OF THE LORD by Pepper Choplin — Lyrics

Lift up your heads, O gates, and make the highway straight, Prepare to celebrate the coming of the Lord. Your waiting soon will end, God's glory will descend, Rise up and welcome in the coming of the Lord! The coming of the Lord! Prepare the way for the coming of the Lord! Prepare the way for the coming of the Lord! The ancient words foretell, God with us, He will dwell, Christ our Emmanuel, and all will see the glory of the Lord! Lift up your heads, O gates, and make the highway straight, Prepare to celebrate the coming of the Lord! Your waiting soon will end, God's glory will descend, Rise up and welcome in the coming of the Lord, the coming of the Lord! Prepare the way for the coming of the Lord! Prepare the way for the coming of the Lord, The ancient words foretell, God with us He will dwell, Christ our Emmanuel! And all will see the glory of the Lord! O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel. Lord, and then the deaf will hear, the blind will see him clear, The mute will find their voice, the lame will leap for joy. Prepare the way of the coming of the Lord! Prepare the way of the Lord! Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel, our God will come to us. Prepare the way for the coming of the Lord!
