Behold the Savior come! Ye saints, your hearts prepare

Behold the Savior come! Ye saints, your hearts prepare

Author: Parley Parker Pratt
Tune: [Behold, the Savior come!]
Published in 10 hymnals


Representative Text

1. Behold, the Savior come!
Ye Saints, your hearts prepare;
To Zion's mountains gather home,
For soon you'll meet Him there.

2. The signs which he foretold
Already do appear;
Blood, smoke and fire we oft behold,
And these bespeak Him near.

3. Then let us lift our heads
With joy and sing His praise;
The fig tree putting forth its buds
Bespeaks the latter days.
