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.”
Is joy mine below?
Still greater my joy
When to Jesus I go.
“Behold, I come quickly.”
Let come, then, 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.
