Ye Who Messiah Seek

lyricist: 5th Century Latin
Composer: John Goss, 1872

Ye who Mes­si­ah seek

Aloft your eyes in­cline

And see yon ho­ly mount be­speak

His death­less glo­ry’s sign.

There faith may One be­hold

Majestic

vast

sub­lime;

Who ne’er be­gan

ne’er ends; con­trolled

By nei­ther space nor time.

’Tis Jud­ah’s king

de­creed

The Gen­tiles’ crown to wear;

The faith­ful Ab­ra­ham’s pro­mised seed

The roy­al Da­vid’s heir.

The pro­phets Him re­cord

Of Him the sig­nals give;

The Fa­ther wit­ness­es the Word

And bids us

hear

be­lieve.

Jesus

be glo­ry Thine

To babes and suck­lings known;

While in the midst Thy sym­bols shine

Of Heav’n’s tri­un­al throne.
