Tune: Cross of Jesus
('Come thou long-expected Jesus')
Isaiah 40 v.3-5
********
John Baptist, voice of him that cries
In wilderness, says, Arise
Prepare you the way of the Lord
Draw near to Him, hear His word
Make straight in desert a highway
For our God, His coming day
Every valley shall be lifted
Mounts, hills be made low instead
Crooked places shall be made straight
Rough places smooth, be not late
And the glory of the Lord shall
Be revealed, it we shall tell
And all flesh together shall see
It displayed radiantly
For mouth of the Lord has spoken
So it shall be to all men* (*mankind)

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. metre. The words of the hymn in the clip are a bit different from the usual version. Maybe extra verses added in, which are not usually sung?
