A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
    the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
    a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up,
    every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
    the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
    and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

                                                  Isaiah 40:3-5

Collect:

Almighty God,

you sent your servant John the Baptist

to prepare your people to welcome the Messiah.

Inspire the ministers and stewards of your truth

to turn our disobedient hearts to you,

that when the Christ shall come again

to be our judge

we may stand with confidence before his glory;

who is alive and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.
