Blossoming of Christ

"Make a highway for him
who rides on the clouds."

Psalm 68:4

Let the wilderness and the dry-lands exult,

let the wasteland rejoice and bloom,

let it bring forth flowers like the crocus,

let it rejoice and sing for joy.

Strengthen all weary hands,

steady all trembling knees,

and say to all faint hearts,

“Courage! Do not be afraid.

“Look, your God is coming,

he is coming to save you."

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,

the ears of the deaf unsealed,

then the lame shall leap like a deer

and the tongues of the dumb sing for joy.

Water gushes in the desert,

streams in the wasteland,

the scorched earth becomes a lake,

the parched land springs of water.

And through it will run a highway

which shall be called the Sacred Way.

The redeemed will walk there,

for those the Lord has ransomed shall return.

They will come to Zion shouting for joy,

everlasting joy on their faces;

joy and gladness will go with them

and sorrow and lament be ended.

Isaiah 35
