Lo! He comes, the
Blessèd King of Heav’n and earth;
Go forth to meet Him,
Go forth to greet Him!
Shout His praise
And hail the day that gave Him birth,
That filled the world
With love and peace.

Refrain

Hail him! go ye forth to meet Him!
Hail Him! with ho­san­nas greet Him!
Hail Him! Hail Him!
Lo! He comes on earth to reign.

Glad ho­san­nas
From our hap­py hearts o’er­flow,
Go forth to meet Him,
Go forth to greet Him!
Joy of Heav’n
Is fill­ing all the earth be­low,
In love’s glad praise
That ne’er shall cease.

Refrain

Angel hosts the
Coming of the Christ at­tend,
Go forth to meet Him,
Go forth to greet Him!
Heav’n and earth
In glo­ri­ous songs of rap­ture blend;
His praise shall
Evermore in­crease.
