Thou Shalt Know Him

Mark Sirett (b. 1952)

Thou shalt know him when he comes,

Not by any din of drums,

Nor his manners, nor his airs,

Nor by anything he wears.

Thou shalt know him when he comes,

Not by his crown or by his gown,

But his coming known shall be,

by the holy harmony which his coming makes in thee.

Thou shalt know him when he comes. Amen.
