\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Make way, make way,\u00a0for Christ the King
\nin splendour arrives:
\nfling wide the gates
\nand welcome Him into your lives.
\nChorus: Make way, make way,
\nfor the King of kings;
\nmake way, make way,
\nand let His kingdom in!<\/p>\n

2 He comes the broken hearts to heal,
\nthe prisoner to free,
\nthe deaf shall hear,
\nthe lame shall dance,
\nand blind shall see.<\/p>\n

3 And those who mourn with heavy heart
\nwho weep and sigh,
\nwith laughter, joy, and royal crown
\nHe’ll beautify.<\/p>\n

4 We call you now to worship Him,
\nas Lord of all,
\nto have no gods before Him,
\ntheir thrones must fail!<\/p>\n

MP 809 : Blessed be the name of the Lord<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Blessed be the name of the Lord,
\nBlessed be the name of the Lord,
\nBlessed be the name of the Lord most high.
\nBlessed be the name of the Lord,
\nBlessed be the name of the Lord,
\nBlessed be the name of the Lord most high.
\nChorus: The name of Lord is a strong tower –
\nthe righteous run into it,
\nand they are saved;
\nThe name of Lord is a strong tower –
\nthe righteous run into it,
\nand they are saved.<\/p>\n

2 Glory to the name of the Lord,
\nGlory to the name of the Lord,
\nGlory to the name of the Lord most high!
\nGlory to the name of the Lord,
\nGlory to the name of the Lord,
\nGlory to the name of the Lord most high!<\/p>\n

3 Holy is the name of the Lord,
\nHoly is the name of the Lord,
\nHoly is the name of the Lord\u00a0 most high.
\nHoly is the name of the Lord,
\nHoly is the name of the Lord,
\nHoly is the name of the Lord\u00a0 most high.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 33:14-16 New International Version
\n<\/strong>\u201c\u2018The days are coming,\u2019 declares the\u00a0Lord, \u2018when I will fulfil the good promise\u00a0I made to the people of Israel and Judah.
\n\u201c\u2018In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David\u2019s line;
\nhe will do what is just and right in the land.
\nIn those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called: The\u00a0Lord\u00a0Our Righteous Saviour.\u2019<\/p>\n

Luke 21:25-33 New International Version
\n<\/strong>\u201cThere will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. \u00a0<\/sup>People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
\nAt that time, they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud\u00a0with power and great glory.\u00a0When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.\u201d
\nHe told them this parable:\u00a0\u201cLook at the fig tree and all the trees.\u00a0When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.\u00a0Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God\u00a0is near.
\n\u201cTruly I tell you, this generation\u00a0will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.\u00a0Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.<\/p>\n

CH4 543 : Longing for light<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
\nLonging for truth, we turn to you.
\nMake us your own, your holy people,
\nlight for the world to see.
\nChorus: Christ be our light!
\nShine in our hearts.
\nShine through the darkness.
\nChrist, be our light!
\nShine in our Church gathered today.<\/p>\n

2 Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
\nLonging for hope, many despair.
\nYour world alone has power to save us.
\nMake us your living voice.<\/p>\n

3 Longing for food, many are hungry.
\nLonging for water, many still thirst.
\nMake us your bread, broken for others,
\nshared until all are fed.<\/p>\n

4 Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
\nLonging for warmth, many are cold.
\nMake us your building, sheltering others,
\nwall made of living stone.<\/p>\n

5 Many the gifts, many the people,
\nmany the hearts that yearn to belong.
\nLet us be servants of one another,
\nmaking your kingdom come.<\/p>\n

MP 631 : Tell out my soul<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 Tell out my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
\nUnnumbered blessings give my spirit voice;
\nrender to me the promise of His word:
\nin God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.<\/p>\n

2 Tell out my soul, the greatness of His name!
\nMake known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
\nHis mercy sure, from age to age the same:
\nHis holy name, the Lord, the Mighty One.<\/p>\n

3 Tell out my soul, the greatness of\u00a0 His might!
\nPowers and dominions lay their glories by.
\nProud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
\nthe hungry fed, the humble lifted high.<\/p>\n

4 Tell out my soul, the glories of His word!
\nFirm in His promise, and His mercy sure.
\nTell out my soul, the greatness of the Lord
\nto children’s children and for evermore.<\/p>\n
