A Voice Cries Out | Isaiah 40 | Advent Hymn | M. Joncas | Sunday 7pm Choir

This beautiful Advent hymn musically captures both the message of the Prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 40:1-8) to make ready the way for the Messiah and the introduction from the Gospel of Mark (Mark 1:1-8) speaking of John the Baptist's announcement of the coming of Jesus.

Recorded live at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, Ontario Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless! 🙏

Lyrics:

Console my people, the ones dear to me,
speak to the heart of Jerusalem,
the time of your mourning is ended now,
the Lord of life will come.

A voice cries out in the wilderness:
"Prepare a way for the Lord!"
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
"Make straight a highway for God!"

Ev'ry valley is made a plain,
ev'ry mountain is leveled
the glory of God shall then be revealed,
and the nations will sing in praise.

A voice cries out in the wilderness:
"Prepare a way for the Lord!"
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
"Make straight a highway for God!"

A voice shouts: "Cry!" O what shall I cry?
All flesh is like grass and its flowers,
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the Word of the Lord is forever.

A voice cries out in the wilderness:
"Prepare a way for the Lord!"
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
"Make straight a highway for God!"
