Behold a humble train,
the courts of God draw near;
a Virgin Mother and her Babe
before the Lord appear.
O wondrous, blessèd sight!
To faithful eyes made known,
that lowly Babe--the mighty God,
the Prince of Peace, they own.
And now this temple shines
with glory far more bright
than e'er the former temple saw,
e'en at its greatest height.
The cloud indeed was there,
the symbol of the Lord;
but here the Lord himself appears,
the true, incarnate Word.
Blest Savior, come once more
with power and grace divine;
our hearts thy living temple make,
wholly and ever thine.
