is in the name of God!
For him let doors be opened,
no hearts against him barred!
2 Not robed in royal splendour,
in power and pomp, comes he;
but clad as are the poorest—
such his humility!
3 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
By those who truly listen
his voice is truly heard.
4 Pity the proud and haughty,
who have not learned to heed
the Christ who is the Promise,
who has our ransom paid.
5 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
He only to the humble
reveals the face of God.
6 All power is his, all glory!
All things are in his hand,
all ages and all peoples,
till time itself shall end!
7 Blest be the King whose coming
is in the name of God!
He offers to the burdened
the rest and grace they need.
8 Gentle is he and humble!
And light his yoke shall be,
for he would have us bear it
so he can make us free! Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT
