The King of Glory comes, the nation rejoices
Open the gates before Him, lift up your voices.

Who is the King of Glory? How shall we call Him?
He is Emmanuel, the promised of ages.

In all of Galilee, in city and village
He goes among His people, curing their illness.

Sing then of David's Son, our Saviour and Brother
In all of Galilee was never another.

He gave his life for us, the pledge of salvation,
He took upon himself the sins of the nation.

He conquered sin and death; He truly has risen.
And He will share with us His heavenly vision.

96 A voice cries out 

1. Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now,

Refrain:
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a high-way for God!

2. Ev'ry valley is made a plain,
ev'ry mountain is leveled,
the glory of God shall then be revealed,
and the nations will sing in praise. (refrain)

3. A voice shouts: 'Cry!' O what shall I cry?
'All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the word of the Lord is forever.' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 2)
4. Zion, shout from the mountain top,
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 1)
5. The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart

leading them all, old and young. (refrain)


408 Come to the water

1. O let all who thirst, let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord:
without money, without price. Why should you pay the price,
except for the Lord?

2. And let all who seek, let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord:
without money, without strife. Why should you spend your life,
except for the Lord?

3. And let all who toil, let them come to the water.
And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord:
all who labor, without rest. How can your soul find rest,
except for the Lord?

4. And let all the poor, let them come to the water.
Bring the ones who are laden,
bring them all to the Lord:
bring the children without might. Easy the load and light:
come to the Lord. Come to the Lord.
Come to the Lord. Come to the Lord.

(optional:)
I will run to you. I will run to you.
I will run to you, my Lord.
(4 bars till end)

Final  986 In the Day of the Lord

Refrain
In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine
like the dawn of eternal day.
All creation will rise to dance and sing
the glory of the Lord!

1. And on that day will justice triumph,
on that day will all be free:
free from want, free from fear, free to live!

2. Then shall the nations throng together
to the mountain of the Lord:
they shall walk in the light of the Lord!

3. And they shall beat their swords to plowshares;
there will be an end to war:
one in peace, one in love, one in God!

4. For Israel shall be delivered,
and the desert lands will bloom.
Say to all, “Do not fear. Here is your God!”

5. And on that day of Christ in glory,
God will wipe away our tears,
and the dead shall rise up from their graves!

6. O give us eyes to see your glory,
give us hearts to understand.

Let our ears hear your voice ‘til you come!
