Tune: Veni Emmanuel
(\'O come, O come, Emmanuel\')
Isaiah 52 v.7-10
**********
Emmanuel, God with us, come to earth
Glad tidings of a Saviour\'s birth
How beautiful on Zion\'s mounts
Messenger from whence springs blessings founts
Chorus
Prepare, prepare! The advent of the Lord
Is near, His second coming, true His word
There be proclaiming of the peace
Which the Lord brings without a cease
Good tidings of good things, mankind
Salvation in Christ all may find - Chorus
The word in Zion, God\'s city
Is, Your God reigns! for e\'er, so be
Break forth into joy waste places
Of Israel and of all races - Chorus
For the Lord has comforted His people
Redeemed them and they shall not fall
He has made bare His holy arm
His strength which does save them from harm - Chorus
\'Tis seen among all nations, he
The omnipotent God e\'er be
All the ends of the earth shall see
His salvation, His victory - Chorus
