Behold! Behold, He Cometh

Behold! be­hold

He com­eth

Who doth sal­va­tion bring;

Lift up your heads re­joic­ing

And wel­come Zi­on’s king;

With hymns of joy we praise the Lord

Hosanna to th’In­car­nate Word!

Hosanna to the Sav­ior

Who came on Christ­mas morn

And

of a low­ly vir­gin

Was in a sta­ble born;

Immanuel! Blest Je­sus! come!

Within Thy child­ren make Thy home.

Yea

come in love and meek­ness

Our Sav­ior now to be;

Come to be form­èd in us

And make us like to Thee

Before the day of wrath draw near

When

as our judge

Thou shalt ap­pear.

Soon shalt Thou sit in glo­ry

Upon the great white throne

And pu­nish all the wick­ed

And re­comp­ense Thine on;

When ev­ery word and deed and thought

To right­eous judg­ment shall be brought.

Here

good and bad are ming­led;

But on that judg­ment day

The an­gels shall di­vide them

And take the bad away;

Grant

Lord

that we be faith­ful found

When the last trum­pet call shall sound!
