Song of faith, song of trust, a song to welcome the Christ.
Let the warmth of our love, like the long summer days,
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Let our will for justice, as strong as the sun,
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Gather in hope, people of God. Sing the Advent song!
Song of faith, song of trust, a song to welcome the Christ.
Let our thirst for the truth, like the dry, parched earth,
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Let our dream for peace, as bright as the sky,
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Gather in hope, people of God. Sing the Advent song!
Song of faith, song of trust, a song to welcome the Christ.
Let the prophet be heard, like the blaze of fire:
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Let the poor and the rich as the lamb and the lion,
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Gather in hope, people of God. Sing the Advent song!
Song of faith, song of trust, a song to welcome the Christ.
Stand alert and be ready to welcome the Christ.
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Let this be our prayer as we lift up our hearts:
prepare the way of the Lord, prepare the way of the Lord.
Gather in hope, people of God. Sing the Advent song!
Song of faith, song of trust, a song to welcome the Christ.
