O How Shall I Receive Thee

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) #78 (1928) Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Thy fire within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its pow'rs renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glory to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou comest to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me, As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procur'd my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.
