Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #26 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship (1993) First Line: Jesus came, the heav'ns adoring Lyrics: 1 Jesus came, the heav'ns adoring,
Came with peace from realms on high;
Jesus came to win redemption,
Lowly came on earth to die,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Came in deep humility.
2 Jesus comes again in mercy
When our hearts are worn with care;
Jesus comes again in answer
To an earnest, heartfelt prayer,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Comes to save us from despair.
3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,
Bringing news of sins forgiv'n;
Jesus comes with words of gladness,
Leading souls redeemed to heav'n.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hope to all the world is giv'n.
4 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant
When the heav'ns shall pass away.
Jesus comes again in glory;
Let us, then, our homage pay,
Alleluia! ever singing
Till the dawn of endless day. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH, EHRENKÖNIG
