<p>O Lord, how shall I meet You, how welcome you aright?<br>
|
||
Your people long to greet You, my Hope, my heart’s Delight!<br>
|
||
O kindle, Lord most holy, a lamp within my breast,<br>
|
||
To do in spirit lowly all that may please You best.</p>
|
||
<p>Love caused Your incarnation, love brought You down to me;<br>
|
||
Your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty.<br>
|
||
O love beyond all telling, that led you to embrace<br>
|
||
In love all loves excelling our lost and fallen race.</p>
|
||
<p>A glorious crown You gave me, a treasure safe on high,<br>
|
||
That will not fail nor leave me as earthly riches fly.<br>
|
||
My heart shall bloom forever for You with praises new,<br>
|
||
And from Your Name shall never withhold the honor due.</p>

<p>O how shall I receive Thee,<br>

How meet Thee on Thy way;<br>

Blest Hope of every nation,<br>

My soul’s Delight and Stay?<br>
|
||
O Jesus, Jesus, give me,<br>
|
||
By Thine illuming light,<br>
|
||
To know whate’er is pleasing<br>
|
||
And welcome in Thy sight.</p>
|
||
<p>Thy Zion palms is strewing<br>
|
||
With branches fresh and fair;<br>
|
||
And every soul awaking,<br>
|
||
Her anthem shall prepare;<br>
|
||
Perpetual thanks and praises<br>
|
||
Forth from our hearts shall spring;<br>
|
||
And to Thy name the service<br>
|
||
Of all our powers we bring.</p>
|
||
<p>O ye who sorrow, sinking<br>
|
||
Beneath your grief and pain,<br>
|
||
Rejoice in His appearing,<br>
|
||
Who shall your souls sustain;<br>
|
||
He comes, He comes with gladness!<br>
|
||
How great is His good-will!<br>
|
||
He comes, all grief and anguish<br>
|
||
Shall at His Word be still.</p>
|
||
<p>Ye who with guilty terror<br>
|
||
Are trembling, fear no more;<br>
|
||
With love and grace the Savior<br>
|
||
Shall you to hope restore:<br>
|
||
He comes, Who contrite sinners<br>
|
||
Will with the children place,<br>
|
||
The children of His Father,<br>
|
||
The heirs of life and grace.</p>
|
||
<p>He comes, the Lord, to judgment;<br>
|
||
Woe, woe to them who hate!<br>
|
||
To those who love and seek Him<br>
|
||
He opes the heavenly gate.<br>
|
||
Come quickly, gracious Savior,<br>
|
||
And gather us to Thee,<br>
|
||
That in the light eternal<br>
|
||
Our joyous home may be.</p>

He Who alone can cheer you,<br>

Is standing at the door;<br>

He brings His pity near you,<br>
