Epiphany // Week 6 // Jan. 7-13

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

announces that the Lord is nigh.

Awake and harken, for he brings

glad tidings of the King of Kings!

We hail you as our Savior, Lord,

our refuge and our great reward.

Without your grace we waste away

like flowers that wither and decay.

And let us all our hearts prepare

For Christ to come and enter there

Then cleansed be every life from sin:

Make straight the way for God within

Make straight the way

Make straight the way for God within,

And let us all our hearts prepare

For Christ to come and enter there
