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

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)

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)

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)

Prophet voices loudly crying
Making pathways clear;
Glimpsing glory, self-denying,
calling all to hear.
Through their message – challenged, shaken-
hearts awaken: God is near!

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You, Lord

Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will

Cleanse me from within
And make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin
Deep within (refrain)

Refrain:
Behold the Lamb of God,
who comes to take our sins away,
to bind the broken heart,
and set the captives free:
his kingdom will not end,
his mercy will not falter.
He comes, the hope of ages,
the joy of all the world.

Hear ye the voice:
'Prepare a  way for one who comes!'
Make straight his paths,
the Saviour comes with power to heal. (refrain)

Speak to my flock:
'Your time of woe is ended.'
Shout from the heights,

See from the heavens,
the Spirit comes to rest on him.
God's voice resounds:
'Behold my well beloved Son.' (refrain)

The task is mine to do,
to set it really free.
Oh, help me to obey;
help me to do your will. (refrain)
