Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain made low,
and the crooked made straight, and the rough places plain,

and all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Amen.

Anthem - Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus    arr. Robert Hobby - Chancel Choir
Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a king;
born to reign in us forever, now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all-sufficient merit, raise us to thy glorious throne.
Rule in all; hope of all. Come, expected Jesus. Come.
