Blest be the King whose coming

by Frederico J. Pagura · translated by Fred Pratt Green (1903–)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 231.

Verse 1

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God! For Him let doors be opened, No hearts against Him barred! Not robed in royal splendor, In power and pomp comes He; But clad as are the poorest, Such His humility.

Verse 2

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God! By those who truly listen His voice is truly heard; Pity the proud and haughty, Who have not learned to heed The Christ who is the promise, Who has atonement made.

Verse 3

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God! He only to the humble Reveals the face of God. All power is His, all glory! All things are in His hand, All ages and all peoples, ’Till time itself shall end.

Verse 4

Blest be the King whose coming Is in the name of God! He offers to the burdened The rest and grace they need. Gentle is He and humble! And light his Yoke shall be, For He would have us bear it, So He can made us free!
