That John should be that herald's name,
And with prophetic utt'rance told

A greater prophet than was he.

Before Thy face Thy way to show,
And shine, as with the day-star’s gleam,
Before Thine own eternal beam.

All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,

Forever and forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: BECCLES
