cometh

Draweth near, biblically

Cometh is an archaic third-person singular form of "come," surviving mainly in the biblical phrase the hour cometh and the proverb cometh the hour, cometh the man—meaning the right person appears when needed.

Outside deliberate archaism or quotation, the form sounds affected or humorous.
