| 1 Behold a humble train The courts of God draw near; A Virgin Mother and her babe Before the Lord appear. 2 O wondrous blessèd sight! To faithful eyes made known, That lowly Babe--the mighty God, The Prince of Peace, they own. 3 And now this temple shines With glory far more bright Than e'er the former temple saw, E'en at its greatest height. 4 The cloud indeed was there, The symbol of the Lord; But here the Lord Himself appears, The true, Incarnate Word. 5 Blest Saviour, come once more With pow'r and grace divine; Our hearts Thy living temples make, Wholly and ever Thine. | The Church Hymnal: revised and enlarged in accordance with the action of the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892.
