1 In His temple now behold Him,
See the long-expected Lord;

God has now fulfilled His word.
Now to praise Him, His redeemed
Shall break forth with one accord.

2 In the arms of her who bore Him,
Virgin pure, behold Him lie,
While His aged saints adore Him,
Ere in perfect faith they die.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo, th'incarnate God most high.
