See, He Comes

lyricist: Christopher Wordsworth, 1862
Composer: John Dykes, 1871

See

He comes! whom ev­ery na­tion

Taught of God

de­sired to see

Filled with hope and ex­pec­ta­tion

That He would their Sav­ior be.

Sing

O sing with ex­ul­ta­tion

Lo! He calls us to our home;

Peace

re­demp­tion

joy

sal­va­tion

Now from Heav’n to earth are come.

See

He comes! whom kings and sag­es

Prophets

pa­tri­archs of old

Distant climes

and count­less ag­es

Waited ea­ger to be­hold.

Sing

O sing with ex­ul­ta­tion

Lo! He calls us to our home;

Peace

re­demp­tion

joy

sal­va­tion

Now from Heav’n to earth are come.

See the Lamb of God ap­pear­ing

God of God

from Heav’n above;

See the heav’n­ly Bride­groom cheer­ing

His dear bride with looks of love!

Glory to th’eter­nal Fa­ther

Glory to th’in­car­nate Son

Glory to the Ho­ly Spir­it

Glory to the Three in One!
