Tune: Darwall
('Rejoice the Lord is King')
********
Again the Advent call
Is made to one and all
For He, Emmanuel
Shall come, let all tongues tell
He once to earth has come, we know
And He a second time will show
Prepare the way that He
May come to each heart, see
For His eternal reign
Shall be, no crying, pain
Nor death nor mourning shall there be
We by Him redeemed and made free
Make crooked places straight
Rough places plain, not late
Every valley it shall
Be exalted, fare well
Each mountain and each hill made low
Make it for His return, be so
Rejoicing there shall be
Witness, evangel we
That others too believe
Christ as Saviour receive
'Til gathered in, no trace of sin
Multitudes of all kith and kin

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6.8.8. metre. Not a very good picture on the clip. You only see two choir people's heads!
