Behold, He Cometh<\/p>\n
Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus,
\nPartners of His sufferings here;
\nChrist to all believers precious,
\nLord of lords shall soon appear:
\nMark the tokens
\nOf His heavenly kingdom near!<\/p>\n
Close behind the tribulation
\nOf the last tremendous days,
\nSee the flaming revelation!
\nSee the universal blaze!
\nEarth and heaven
\nMelt before the Judge\u2019s face!<\/p>\n
Sun and moon are both confounded,
\nDarken\u2019d into endless night,
\nWhen with angel-hosts surrounded,
\nIn His Father\u2019s glory bright
\nBeams the Saviour:\u2014
\nShines the everlasting Light.<\/p>\n
Lo! \u2019tis He! our heart\u2019s desire
\nCome for His espoused below!
\nCome to join us with His choir
\nCome to make our joys o\u2019erflow;
\nPalms of victory,
\nCrowns of glory to bestow.<\/p>\n
