Malachi 3 v.1-4 & 4 v.5-6
*********
The LORD\'s messenger he was sent
John Baptist, he cried, Repent
Came to prepare way of LORD sure
To bring His reign evermore
He messenger of covenant
The gospel unto us meant
To show good news of salvation
Unto each, every nation
He John did come, and did refine
As \'second Elijah\' fine
Repentance preached, that\'s God\'s people
Righteous offering to Him be
So may we turn to you, our hearts
Seek to know you, in all parts
Paths made straight, forgiven, restored
May we follow you, our Lord
