13248. Shiloh Has Come

1 Heaven is ringing with glad exultations,
Bright is the hope that so lately was dim;
Shiloh has come with a gift for the nations,
Lo! He will gather the people to Him.

Refrain:
Spread the glad message, ye murmuring rivers,
Breezes repeat it from mountain to sea,
Shiloh has come with the strength that delivers;
Shiloh has come, and His people are free.

2 Prophets have told of His greatness and glory,
Poets have sung of His wisdom and might;
Still have they shadowed but faintly the story,
Still has the hope been excelled in the sight. [Refrain]

3 Shiloh has come, and His presence is blessing,
Shiloh has come from the Father above;
Angels adore Him, His glories confessing,
Mortals are won to His marvelous love. [Refrain]
