Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services ‎#69

69. Come, Thou precious Ransom, come!

1. COME, Thou precious Ransom, come!
Only Hope for sinful mortals!
Come, O Saviour of the world,
Open are to Thee all portals;
Come in wonted suavity,
Anxiously we wait for Thee.

2. O great King of glory, come!
Let me be Thy living temple:
Enter Thou into my heart;
Though I am but poor and simple,
Yet my riches then shall be
That Thou reignest, Lord, in me.

3. My hosannas and my palms
Graciously receive, I pray Thee;
Evermore, as best I can,
Saviour, I will homage pay Thee,
And in faith I will embrace,
Lord, Thy merit through Thy grace.

4. Hail! Hosanna! David's Son,
Help, Lord, hear our supplication!
Let Thy kingdom, scepter, crown,
Bring us blessing and salvation,
That forever we may sing:
Hail! Hosanna! to our King.
