Disperse the gloomy clouds of night and death's dark shadows put to flight. [refrain]

To us the path of knowledge show and cause us in her ways to go. [refrain]

Closing Hymn: “Prepare the Way O Zion”
1 Prepare the way, O Zion, your Christ is drawing near!
Let every hill and valley a level way appear.
Greet One who comes in glory, foretold in sacred story.
Oh blest is Christ that came in God's most holy name.
2 He brings God's rule, O Zion; he comes from heaven above.
His rule is peace and freedom, and justice, truth, and love.
Lift high your praise resounding, for grace and joy abounding.
Oh blest is Christ that came in God's most holy name
3 Fling wide your gates, O Zion; your Savior’s rule embrace.
His tidings of salvation proclaim in every place.
All lands will bow before him, their voices will adore him.
Oh blest is Christ that came in God’s most holy name.
