Behold, These Words Are Trustworthy and True

lyricist: Susan Peterson, 1999
Composer: 15th Century

Behold

these words are trust­wor­thy and true

For God the Lord is mak­ing all things new.

He showed His serv­ants what must take place

The plagues and bless­ings set for Ad­am’s race.

Now keep these words

for he who ov­er­comes

Will gain new life and he will be God’s son.

Behold

says Je­sus

Quick I come again;

Most blest is he who keeps My words made plain.

The time is near; re­ward is in sight.

So ho­ly stay and al­ways seek the right.

The First

the Last

Be­gin­ning and the End

The Al­pha and Ome­ga e’er I am.

How blest are those who wash their robes from sin

That they may to the ci­ty en­ter in

And to the tree of life have full right.

They’ll see God’s face

and He will give them light.

The curse is gone! They’ll reign for­ev­er­more

With Je­sus

Da­vid’s Root

bright Morn­ing Star.

The Spir­it and the bride of Christ say

Come!

And let each one who hears

These words say

Come!

Yea

who­so­ev­er thirsts

let him come.

The drink of life is free; let all men come!

Hear Je­sus’ words: Quick­ly I come again.

O come

Lord Je­sus

come to us. Amen.
