Joyful, Lord, to you I bow. Come into my heart, I pray; Oh, prepare yourself a way! 5 As your coming was in peace, Quiet, full of gentleness, Let the same mind dwell in me Which is yours eternally. 6 Bruise for me the Serpent's head That, set free from doubt and dread, I may cling to You in faith, Safely kept through life and death. 7 Then when you will come again As the glorious king to reign, I with joy will see your face, Freely ransomed by your grace.
