BEHOLD AMONG MEN — Lyrics

ANTIPHON Behold, among men the dwelling place of God; they shall be his people, and he shall be their Lord and God! VERSE 1 People called by God through the word of the prophets; People brought together in the house of the Lord; People who attend to their Lord, the Church of Christ the Lord! VERSE 2 Temple built by saints, by the martyrs and apostles; Holy temple built upon Christ the Cornerstone; Holy dwelling place of our God, the Church of Christ the Lord! VERSE 3 People who are born in the waters of the Spirit; People who are marked by the seal of the Spirit; People in the Spirit made one, the Church of Christ the Lord! VERSE 4 People who are grafted on Jesus the Vine; Branches bearing fruit in the grace of the Lord; Branches rooted in his great love, the Church of Christ the Lord!

About BEHOLD AMONG MEN

The song "Behold Among Men" draws its core message directly from the Book of Revelation, announcing that God's dwelling place is now with humanity. The antiphon sets a majestic, declarative tone that grounds the congregation in the reality of the Church as God's home on earth.

The verses unfold like a litany of what it means to be the Church. We sing of being called by prophets, built by martyrs, born in the waters of the Spirit, and nourished by the body of the Lord. Each verse builds a picture of a people gathered and grafted onto Christ the Vine, culminating in the powerful, repeating phrase, "the Church of Christ the Lord!"

In the choir loft, this piece is especially fitting for Pentecost or any celebration focusing on the mystery of the Church. The steady progression of the verses allows the choir to lead the assembly through a deep reflection on our shared identity, moving from darkness into light as a royal and holy people.
