     11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.(KJV)

1. Ye sons of men, oh, hearken: 
Your heart and mind prepare, 
To hail the almighty Savior, 
O sinners, be your care. 
He who of grace alone 
Our Life and Light was given, 
The promised Lord from heaven, 
Unto our world is shown. 

2. Prepare the way before Him; 
Prepare for Him the best, 
Cast out whate’er offendeth 
This great, this heavenly Guest 
Make straight, make plain, the way: 
The lowly valleys raising 
The heights of pride abasing. 
His path all even lay. 

3. The humble heart and lowly 
God lifteth up on high: 
Beneath His feet in anguish 
The haughty soul shall lie. 
The heart, sincere and right, 
That heeds God’s invitation 
And makes true preparation, 
It is the Lord’s delight. 

4. Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus, 
Turn not from me aside, 
And grand that I receive Thee 
This blessed Advent-tide. 
From stall and manger low 
Come Thou to dwell within me; 
Loud praises will I sing Thee 
And forth glory show.
