Your people long to greet you, my hope, my heart's delight. O Jesus, let your Word be a lamp to light my way, to show me how to please you, to guide me ev'ry day. 2 Love caused your incarnation; love brought you down to me. Your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling that led you to embrace in love, all love excelling, our lost and fallen race! 3 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted, who sit in deepest gloom, who mourn o'er joys departed and tremble at your doom. Despair not; he is near you, he's standing at the door who best can help and cheer you and bids you weep no more. 4 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, let not your souls distress; your guilt the Lord will pardon and cover by his grace. He comes, for you procuring the peace of sin forgiv'n, his children thus securing eternal life in heav'n. 5 He comes to judge the nations, a terror to his foes, a light of consolation and blessèd hope to those who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, send forth your beams most cheering, and guide us safely home. Topics: Advent Scripture: John 12:12-13 Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN

God is man, man to deliver, and the Son now is one with our blood forever. 3 Should we fear our God's displeasure, who, to save, freely gave his most precious treasure? To redeem us he has given his own Son from the throne of his might in heaven. 4 See the Lamb, our sin once taking to the cross, suff'ring loss, full atonement making. For our life his own he tenders, and his grace all our race fit for glory renders. 5 Softly from his lowly manger Jesus calls one and all, "You are safe from danger. Children, from the sins that grieve you you are freed; all you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness, one and all, great and small; come with songs of gladness; we shall live with him forever there on high in that joy which will vanish never.
