Make straight in the desert a highway, prepare the way of the Lord: let mountains and hills bow down humbly and valleys rise up for their King. In joy shall the wilderness blossom, and streams through the desert be poured: the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and tongues that were silent shall sing. Break forth into singing, O Zion, your King is coming to you. Jerusalem, shout with rejoicing, he comes to redeem you from fear. For God shall bring peace and abundance, your praise and renown to renew: prepare to receive your salvation: the promised Redeemer is near. The reign of the Lord will be gracious, its blessings ever will last; for then will God bring to fulfillment the promise of peace from above. All creatures will prosper together, to plowshares all swords will be cast: earth's people will find their true freedom in God's perfect kingdom of Love.
