lyrics

Verse 1:
O Lord Jesus Christ, you sent your messengers
the prophets to preach repentance and
prepare the way, prepare the way,
the way of our salvation:

Refrain:
So ready our hearts, ready our homes,
ready a people prepared;
ready your Church, ready your world,
ready a people prepared for the coming of the Lord.

Verse 2:
Grant that the ministers and stewards of your mysteries
may likewise make ready your way,
by turning the hearts of the disobedient
toward the wisdom of the just

(Refrain)

Bridge:
That at your second coming to judge the world,
we may be found a people acceptable in your sight;

Verse 3:
For with the Father and Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God,
you live and reign, live and reign, for ever and ever. Amen.

(Refrain)
