Once He Came in Blessing

Author: Jan Roh; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Mor1995 #270 (1995) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Tune Title: AVE HIERARCHIA Lyrics: 1 Once he came in blessing all our sins redressing, came in likeness lowly, Son of God most holy; bore the cross to save us, hope and freedom gave us. 2 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 error ere he comes in terror. 3 Thus if we have known him, not ashamed to own him, nor have spurned him coldly, but will trust him boldly, he will then receive us, heal us, and forgive us. 4 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.
