God's Own Son Most Holy

God's own Son most holy Came a servant lowly, Came to live among us, Came to suffer for us, Bore the cross to save us, Hope and freedom gave us. Still he comes within us; Still his voice would win us From the sins that hurt us, Would to truth convert us From our foolish errors Ere he comes in terrors. Thus, if we have known him And will not disown him Nor have loved him coldly But will trust him boldly, He will then receive us, Heal us, and forgive us. Those who then are loyal Find a welcome royal. Come, then, O Lord Jesus, From our sins release us. Let us here confess you Till in heav'n we bless you.
