Come, Thou Precious Ransom, Come |
Johann Gottfried Olearius; German text
Come, Thou precious Ransom, come, Only Hope for sinful mortals! Come, O Savior of the world! Open are to Thee all portals. Come, Thy beauty let us see; Anxiously we wait for Thee.
2. Enter now my waiting heart, | 3. My hosannas and my palms Graciously receive, I pray Thee; Evermore, as best I can, Savior, I will homage pay Thee, And in faith I will embrace, Lord, Thy merit through Thy grace.
4. Hail, hosanna, David's Son! |
