“Behold, I come quickly.”
Yes, that is the word,—
The promise once given
By Jesus our Lord.
“Behold, I come quickly.”
E’er sweetly the same,
Then why should I care
For earth’s riches and fame?
“Behold, I come quickly.”
If sorrow is mine,
With this cheering promise
Why should I repine?
“Behold, I come quickly.”
Have I joy below?
What greater delight
When to Jesus I go!
“Behold, I come quickly.”
Then let come what may:
This comforting promise
My spirit shall stay.
“Behold, I come quickly.”
His Word must abide.
I’ll soon be with Jesus,
Safe, safe at His side.
