Dearest Jesus, We Are Here
Author: Benjamin Schmolck (1704)
Translator: Catherine Winkworth;
Tune: LIEBSTER JESU (Ahle)
Dearest Jesus, we are here,
Gladly Your command obeying;
Gladly Your command obeying;
With this child we now draw near
In response to Your own saying
In response to Your own saying
That to You it shall be given
As a child and heir of heaven.
As a child and heir of heaven.
Your command is clear and plain,
And we would obey it duly:
And we would obey it duly:
“You must all be born again,
Heart and life renewing truly,
Heart and life renewing truly,
Born of water and the Spirit,
And My kingdom thus inherit.”
And My kingdom thus inherit.”
Therefore we have come to You,
In our arms this infant bearing.
In our arms this infant bearing.
Truly here Your grace we view;
May this child, Your mercy sharing,
May this child, Your mercy sharing,
In Your arms be shielded ever,
Yours on earth and Yours forever.
Yours on earth and Yours forever.
Gracious Head, Your member own;
Shepherd, take Your lamb and feed it;
Shepherd, take Your lamb and feed it;
Prince of Peace, make here Your throne;
Way of Life, to heaven lead it;
Way of Life, to heaven lead it;
Precious Vine, let nothing sever
From Your side this branch forever.
From Your side this branch forever.
Now into Your heart we pour
Prayers that from our hearts proceeded.
Prayers that from our hearts proceeded.
Our petitions heav’nward soar;
May our hearts’ desires be heeded!
May our hearts’ desires be heeded!
Write the name we now have given;
Write it in the book of heaven!
Write it in the book of heaven!
