14706. Behold He Cometh

1 Behold the Lord is coming,
His ransomed home to call,
And we who watch shall see Him,
And crown Him Lord of all;
Believer, are you ready?
And are your garments white?
Behold, He quickly cometh!
Yes, He may come tonight.

Refrain:
Yes, He may come tonight,
Yes, He may come tonight;
Behold! Behold! He cometh,
Yes, He may come tonight.

2 Behold the Lord is coming,
He’s coming very soon.
At such an hour we think not,
At morning, night or noon;
Believers, are you ready
To meet this glorious sight?
Behold, He quickly cometh!
Yes, He may come tonight. [Refrain]

3 Behold the Lord is coming,
The time is drawing near,
When crowns and thrones shall perish,
When kingdoms fade and fear;
But we with songs rejoicing
Shall take with Him our flight,
Behold, He quickly cometh!
Yes, He may come tonight. [Refrain]

4 Behold the Lord is coming,
He’s coming for His bride;
He bids the Church be ready
And in Him to abide;
Be not like virgins foolish,
Who had no oil nor light;
Behold, He quickly cometh!
Yes, He may come tonight. [Refrain]
