This song seemed fitting for this week as we have been reading in Isaiah, Micah, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Jeremiah recently, and much is said about the Lord's return to reign.
Behold He Comes!
Behold He comes! the glorious King
Whom once a cross upbore;
Let saints redeemed His praises sing,
And angels hosts adore.
Whom once a cross upbore;
Let saints redeemed His praises sing,
And angels hosts adore.
The reed, the purple, and the thorn,
Are lost in triumph now;
His person robes of light adorn,
And crowns of gold His brow.
Are lost in triumph now;
His person robes of light adorn,
And crowns of gold His brow.
Dear Lord, no more despised, disowned,
A victim bound and slain;
But in the power of God enthroned,
Thou dost return to reign.
A victim bound and slain;
But in the power of God enthroned,
Thou dost return to reign.
To Thee the world its treasure brings;
To Thee its mighty bow;
To Thee the Church exulting springs;
Her Sovereign, Savior Thou!
To Thee its mighty bow;
To Thee the Church exulting springs;
Her Sovereign, Savior Thou!
Beneath Thy touch, beneath Thy smile,
New heavens and earth appear;
No sin their beauty to defile,
Nor dim them with a tear.
New heavens and earth appear;
No sin their beauty to defile,
Nor dim them with a tear.
Thrice happy hour! and those thrice-blest
That gather round Thy throne!
They share the honors of Thy rest,
Who have Thy conflict known.
That gather round Thy throne!
They share the honors of Thy rest,
Who have Thy conflict known.
