Brethren, come! from all doth grieve you, You are freed; All you need I will surely give you." Come, then, let us hasten yonder! Here let all, Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder! Love him who with love is yearning! Hail the star That from far Bright with hope is burning! Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish, Live to thee, And with thee Dying, shall not perish; But shall dwell with thee for ever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never. Amen.
