Till foreign lands and distant isles
Receive the law divine.
199. 11s. M. Drummond.
"Prepare ye the Way of the Lord."
1A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill;
The Lord is advancing! prepare ye the way!
The word of Jehovah he comes to fulfil,
And o'er the dark world pour the splendor of day.
2Bring down the proud mountain though towering to heaven,
And be the low valley exalted on high;
