112. Behold the Prince of peace!

1 Behold, the Prince of peace!
The chosen of the Lord,
God’s well-beloved Son, fulfils
The sure prophetic Word.

2 No royal pomp adorns
This King of righteousness:
Meekness and patience, truth and love,
Compose His princely dress.

3 Jesus, thou light of men!
Thy doctrine life imparts.
O may we feel its quick'ning power
To warm and glad our hearts!

4 Cheer'd by its beams, our souls
Shall run the heav'nly way.
The path, which Christ unwearied trod,
Will lead to endless day.
