"Jesus Has Come and Brings Pleasure"

LSB, 533

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life--the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us--

I John 1:1 & 2

Jesus has come and brings pleasure eternal,

Alpha, Omega Beginning and End;

Godhead, humanity, union supernal,

O great Redeemer, You come as our friend!

Heaven and earthm no proclaim this great wonder;

Jesus has come and brings pleasure eternal!

Jesus has come!  Now see bonds rent asunder!

Fetters of death now disolve, disappear.

See Him burst through with a voice as of thunder!

He sets us free from our guilt and our fear,

Lifts us from shame to the place of His honor.

Jesus has come! Hear the roll of God's thunder!
