The King, the King is coming,
Prepare, prepare the way.
Oh, pray, repent, endeavor
To serve Him while you may.
Persist in every effort
To make the pathway clear;
Advance and bear His banner,
The King Himself is near.

Refrain

Prepare the way for Je­sus,
Cast out each hindering thing,
Let every heart be rea­dy
To hail the Sav­ior, King.

Resist, resist the tempter,
As soldiers true, endure;
Trust God, and hope for­ev­er,
His promises are sure.
Entreat the lost and careless
To open wide the heart,
To watch for Je­sus’ coming,
Nor let the Lord depart.

Refrain

Arouse, arouse the sleeper,
The ris­en Lord to greet,
That all may gladly welcome
The coming of His feet.
Yield all to your Re­deem­er,
Put down all sin and pride,
Prepare the way for Je­sus,
The Sav­ior cru­ci­fied.

Refrain
