About BEHOLD AMONG MEN
"Behold Among Men" is a majestic and welcoming entrance hymn composed by Lucien Deiss. Drawing its text from the Book of Revelation and Ephesians, the song proclaims the profound mystery of God making His dwelling place among His people. It sets a tone of reverence and unity, making it a wonderful choice for the opening procession of the Mass as the congregation gathers in worship.
The verses beautifully trace the identity of the Church—from a people called by the prophets and built upon the foundation of the apostles, to branches grafted onto Jesus the vine. As the choir leads the assembly through these vivid scriptural images, the recurring refrain anchors everyone in the joyful reality that we are called to be the Lord's own people. It is a piece that truly elevates the start of any liturgical celebration, reminding the faithful of their shared bond in the Spirit.
