A voice cries: In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord!
Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be lifted up
and every mountain and hill brought low.
The uneven ground shall become level
and the rough places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.
and all flesh shall see it together.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
In the wilderness prepare a way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Organ Prelude: O Come, O Come Emmanuel – Latin Plainchant – Arranged by Sam Ellson (1925-2012)

THE ADVENT ACCLAMATION

I look from afar
And lo I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth.

Go out to meet Him and say:
Tell us, are you the one who is to reign over your people Israel?

High and low, rich and poor; one with another.
Go out to meet Him and say:

Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, that leads Joseph like a sheep.
Tell us, are you He that is to come?

Stir up your strength, O Lord and come.
To reign over your people Israel.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
I look from afar: and lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth.

THE HYMN: # 102 Prepare the Way, O Zion
