He Has Come (Knowles)

lyricist: Ellin Knowles, 1882
Composer: John Sweney

He has come! He has come!

My Re­deem­er has come!

He has tak­en my heart

As His own chos­en home.

At last I have giv­en

The wel­come He sought;

He has come

and His com­ing

All glad­ness has brought.

He has come! He has come!

My Re­deem­er

my Re­deem­er has come!

His pre­sence is Heav’n

My heart is His home!

My Re­deem­er has come!

He has come! He has come!

My love and my Lord!

Every thought of my be­ing

Is swayed by His Word.

He has come

and He reigns

In the realm of my soul

And His scep­ter is love!

Oh

bless­èd con­trol!

He has come! He has come!

O hap­pi­est heart!

He has giv­en His word

That He will not de­part.

What trou­ble can en­ter

What ev­il can come

To the heart where the God

Of all peace has His home?

He has come to abide:

And ho­ly must be

The place where my Lord

Deigns to ban­quet with me.

And this is my pray­er:

Lord

since Thou art come

Make meet for Thy pre­sence

My heart as Thy home!
