BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GLORY COMES,
In majesty He rides.
Behold the Lion of Judah comes,
In majesty He rides.
He rides in majesty, majesty He rides.
He rides in majesty, majesty He rides.
Behold the Sun of Righteousness,
On a white horse He rides.
His cavalry is following Him,
An army from on high.
And when the Lord goes to battle,
Who can stand against His awesome might?
Let God arise
And His enemies be scattered.
Whoa, whoa.
(Repeat)
The watchmen on the tower
Are interceding for the land.
The saints proclaim God’s victory,
He stretches forth His hand.
Robert Critchley
