Hymns of the Lutheran Church

26 Jesus Came, the Heavens Adoring

1 Jesus came, the heav'ns adoring, Came with peace from realms on high; Jesus came to win redemption, Lowly came on earth to die, Alleluia! Alleluia! Came in deep humility. 2 Jesus comes again in mercy When our hearts are worn with care; Jesus comes again in answer To an earnest, heartfelt prayer, Alleluia! Alleluia! Comes to save us from despair. 3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing, Bringing news of sins forgiv'n; Jesus comes with words of gladness, Leading souls redeemed to heav'n. Alleluia! Alleluia! Hope to all the world is giv'n. 4 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant When the heav'ns shall pass away; Jesus comes again in glory. Let us, then, our homage pay, Alleluia! Alleluia! Till the dawn of endless day.
