See the long-expected Lord;
Ancient prophets had foretold Him,
God has now fulfilled His Word;
Now to praise Him, His redeemed
Shall break forth with one accord.
2 In the arms of her who bore Him,
Virgin pure, behold Him lie,
While His aged saints adore Him,
Ere in perfect faith they die.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo, th'incarnate God most high!
3 Jesus, by Thy presentation,
Thou who cam'st in lowly mien,
Make us see our great salvation,
Make our hearts all pure within;
O present us in Thy glory
To Thy Father, pure and clean.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Presentation; Processionals and Recessionals Presentation Used With Tune: DULCE CARMEN
