The King is very near: O cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might: He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapt in night: 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrow o'er, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O Love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! 7 For this we raise a gladsome voice, On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne.
