Behold the Joyful Day is Nigh

Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #14 (1901) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold the joyful day is nigh, And angels’ voices from on high Proclaim the news in early morn That the Good Shepherd now is born. 2 In quiet splendor forth He comes, The scattered sheep and tender lambs He'll gather, and their fold prepare With all a shepherd’s tender care. 3 So meek and mild we Him behold; And not with silver nor with gold, But by His suffering and His death, He saves us from eternal wrath. 4 His church, though small its seed may be, Shall rise a tall and mighty tree, With fruitful branches spreading o’er The earth till time shall be no more. 5 His Word shall like a gentle rain Make all the earth rejoice again, And yield a rich and blest increase In truth, and purity, and peace. 6 And heaven and earth shall pass away, Yet shall His Word remain for aye: All tongues shall soon with one accord Proclaim Him Saviour, God, and Lord. 7 Arise and shine, thy Light is come, O humankind, O Christendom; Thy glory and thy peace is here; The Saviour of the world draws near. 8 All praise and glory be to Thee For wisdom, power, and majesty; And for Thy grace and mercy, Lord, Forever be Thy name adored.
