About Behold Among Men
"Behold Among Men" is a profound liturgical hymn that celebrates the Church as the living dwelling place of God. Drawing its imagery from the Book of Revelation and the Letter to the Ephesians, the text reminds the congregation that they are a people called by the prophets, built upon Christ the cornerstone, and nourished by the Eucharist. In Nigerian Catholic parishes, this piece is often sung during the Entrance procession or at the dedication of a church, setting a majestic and unifying tone as the faithful gather for Mass.
Paired with it on this sheet is the classic hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty." This reverent song of praise lifts the mind to the heavenly liturgy, joining the voices of the choir with the cherubim and seraphim. With its soaring melody and lyrics adoring the Blessed Trinity, it is a staple for Trinity Sunday and general worship. Together, these two hymns offer a natural progression from the earthly gathering of God's people to the eternal worship of the Triune God.
