Lyrics:

Savior of the nations, come;
Leave for us thy glorious home:
Glad Osannas we will sing,
Greeting thee, our heavenly King.

Come, Lord Jesus take thy rest
In the convert sinner’s breast:
Make the quickened heart thy throne,
Son of God, the Virgin’s Son.

Welcome to this vale of tears,
Ripeness of the perfect years,
Born as man with man to dwell,
Come, our true Emmanuel.

God in man, incarnate God,
Sinless child of flesh and blood,
Man in God, thy brethren we,
Raise us up to God in thee.

Notes: SATB with Bass divisi.
