Author: Johann Horn, c. 1490-1547; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #17 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) Lyrics: 1 God's own Son most holy
Came a servant lowly,
Came to live among us,
Came to suffer for us,
Bore the cross to save us,
Hope and freedom gave us.
2 Still he comes within us;
Still his voice would win us
From the sins that hurt us,
Would to truth convert us
From our foolish errors
Ere he comes in terrors.
3 Thus, if we have known him
And will not disown him
Nor have loved him coldly
But will trust him boldly,
He will then receive us,
Heal us, and forgive us.
4 Those who then are loyal
Find a welcome royal.
Come, then, O Lord Jesus,
From our sins release us.
Let us here confess you
Till in heav'n we bless you. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: GOTTES SOHN IST KOMMEN
