He's come, let every knee be bent by Joseph Stephenson — Lyrics
He's come, let ev'ry knee be bent,
Let all our hearts new joy resume.
Let nations sing with one consent:
The promised Comforter is come.
No anxious thoughts molest our peace,
This day let all our grief retire;
Let ev'ry tear for ever cease,
And ev'ry doubtful thought expire.

About He's come, let every knee be bent
This joyful hymn celebrates the arrival of the promised Comforter. The English text urges listeners to cast aside anxiety and grief, embracing the peace and renewed joy that this divine presence brings. It speaks of the Spirit's powerful influence in controlling sin and strengthening zeal, presenting this gift as the greatest love and heaven on earth. Joseph Stephenson's setting for SATB choir offers a fitting musical expression of these profound theological sentiments, making it a suitable anthem for occasions of thanksgiving and spiritual renewal.
