Ye sons of men, in earnest Prepare your hearts within, The wondrous Conqu'ror cometh, Whose power can save from sin, Whom God in grace alone Hath promised long to send us, To lighten and befriend us, And make His mercy known. 2. Oh set your ways in order When such a guest is nigh; Make plain the paths before Him That now deserted lie. Forsake what He doth hate, Exalt the lowly valleys, Bring down all pride and malice, And make the crooked straight. 3. The heart that's meek and lowly Is highest with our God; The heart now proud and lofty He humbles with His rod; The heart that's unenticed By sin, and fears to grieve Him, Is ready to receive Him, To such comes Jesus Christ. 4. 'Twas thus St. John hath taught us, 'Twas thus he preach'd of yore; And they will feel God's anger Who list not to his lore. Ah God! now let his voice To Thy true service win us, That Christ may come within us, And we in Him rejoice! Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
