Light one candle to watch for Messiah:
\nLet the light banish darkness.
\nHe shall bring salvation to Israel,
\nGod fulfills the promise…<\/i>
\n–WOV 630 (stanza 1)<\/p>\n
Prepare the royal highway;
\nThe King of kings is near!
\nLet every hill and valley
\nA level road appear!
\nThen greet the Lord of glory,
\nFortold in sacred story:
\nHosanna to the Lord,
\nFor he fulfills God’s Word!<\/p>\n
God’s people, see him coming:
\nYour own eternal king!
\nPalm branches strewn before him!
\nSpread garments! Shout and sing!
\nGod’s promise will not fail you!
\nNo more shall doubt assail you!
\nHosanna to the Lord,
\nFor he fulfills God’s Word!<\/p>\n
Then fling the gates wide open
\nTo greet your promised king!
\nYour king, yet every nation
\nIts tribute too may bring.
\nAll lands will bow before him;
\nTheir voices join your singing:
\nHosanna to the Lord,
\nFor he fulfills God’s Word!<\/p>\n
His is no earthly kingdom;
\nIt comes from heav’n above.
\nHis rule is peace and freedom
\nAnd justice, truth, and love.
\nSo let your praise be sounding
\nFor kindness so abounding:
\nHosanna to the Lord,
\nFor he fulfills God’s Word!<\/i>
