Prophetic Piece

Tune: Ratisbon

('Christ whose glory fills the skies')

Luke 3 v.3-6

********

John [Baptist] preaching at Jordan's shore

He proclaimed repentance sure

Baptism of repentance

Forgiveness and penitence

Sins remitted, Christ would pay

Price of them on His cross-day

 

John the Baptist prophesied

By Isaiah*, not denied (*Old Testament prophet)

John the voice of one crying

In the wilderness, each thing

Prepare for the Lord, His way

Make all His paths straight today

 

Every valley shall be filled

Mounts, hills be brought low, God-willed

Crooked places shall be made

Straight, rough ways smooth, not delayed

And all flesh shall truly see

Salvation of God, so be
