1. In His tem- ple now be- hold Him, See the long ex- pect- ed Lord; An- cient pro- phets had fore- told Him; God has now ful- filled His word. Now to praise Him, His re- deem- �d Shall break forth with one ac- cord.
 
2. In the arms of her who bore Him, Vir- gin pure, be- hold Him lie, While his a- g�d saints a- dore Him Ere in faith and hope they die. Ha- lle- lu- jah! Ha- lle- lu- jah! Lo, th'in- car- nate God most high.
 
3. Je- sus, by Thy pres- en- ta- tion, Thou, who didst for us en- dure, Make us see our great sal- va- tion, Seal us with Thy pro- mise sure. And pre- sent us in Thy glo- ry To Thy Fa- ther, cleansed and pure.
 
4. Prince and Au- thor of sal- va- tion, Be Thy bound- less love our theme! Je- sus, praise to Thee be gi- ven By the world Thou didst re- deem. With the Fa- ther and the Spir- it, Lord of ma- jes- ty su- preme!
