2.   Abram’s promised great Reward,
Him of twofold race behold,
Zion’s Helper, Jacob’s LORD,
Truly came, as long foretold.
Welcome, O my Saviour, now!
Hail! My Portion, Lord, art Thou.
Here, too, in my heart, I pray,
Oh, prepare Thyself a way!

3.   King of Glory, enter in;
Cleanse it from the filth of sin,
As Thou hast so often done;
It belongs to Thee alone.
As Thy coming was in peace,
Quiet, full of gentleness,
Let the same mind dwell in me,
That is ever found in Thee.

4.   Comfort my desponding heart:
Thou my Strength and Refuge art.
I am weak, and cunningly,
Satan lays his snares for me.
Bruise for me the Serpent’s head,
That, set free from doubt and dread,
I may cleave to Thee in faith,
Safely kept through life and death.

5.   Let the earth now praise the LORD!
Who hath truly kept His word!
And the sinners’ Help and Friend,
Now at last to us doth send.
And when Thou dost come again;
As a glorious King to reign,
I with joy may see Thy face,
Freely ransomed by Thy grace.
