Prepare the way for the Lord!
Mountains: sink, Depths: arise!
He comes, He, whom in times past
Was revealed as our Hope.
The First One of Righteousness,
The Greatest of the House of David.
Be He blessed who came in the name of the Lord!
People of God, He comes forth, an Eternal King.
Strew palm leaves, spread out garments,
Sing your fulfilled Hope.
The promises of God are true, now shout Hosanna!
The First One of Righteousness,
The Greatest of the House of David.
Be He blessed who came in the name of the Lord!
Widen your gates for the Holiness of the Lord.
Behold, the nations wait around You, to attain Your salvation.
In all the countries of the world
This song of praise will ring out:
The First One of Righteousness,
The Greatest of the House of David.
Be He blessed who came in the name of the Lord!
The throne He ascends is in the house of His Father.
The realm He dedicates is love and light alone.
The praise sung by tender voices declares grace and peace.
The First One of Righteousness,
The Greatest of the House of David.
Be He blessed who came in the name of the Lord!
I love this version, since it combines my faith in Christ with my Swedish culture. Though I must say, I prefer spiritual music to be sung by people who actually believe in what they’re singing. Otherwise, to me, it’s very close to a lie, even though it might be beautiful. Is that very harsh thinking? Perhaps, since the songs rings in my heart when I listen to them, they become true, because I believe in them? Hmm, I got all tangled up in my own musings here. Better stop 🙂

Greetings,
I happened to find your site while searching for ideas for creating a Belle inspired costume…I must say I will add your blog to my favorite pages.
Your sewing is just lovely, I like the historical styles you do…as well as the Swedish things. I am part Swedish in my heritage so this area is always interesting to me.
I enjoyed looking through all your posts, about clothing, creating a wedding gown etc…Very nice.
I share the same faith as you do and it is so nice to see someone else that also enjoys sewing.
I am working on getting a blog for my costumes, but I haven't finished it yet…perhaps soon.
So thank you for sharing your work and sewing on here…
Prayers also to do your Dad..and thank you for sharing this song on the post…
Have a lovely day,
sincerely,
Brielle
