His ransomed home to call,
And we who watch shall see Him,
And crown Him Lord of all;

And are your garments white?
Behold, He quickly cometh!
Yes, He may come tonight.

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]

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!

================
Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936.
