Lyrics

Zion hört die Wächter singen,

das Herz tut ihr vor Freuden springen,

sie wachet und steht eilend auf.

Ihr Freund kommt von Himmel prächtig,

von Gnaden stark, von Wahrheit mächtig,

ihr Licht wird hell, ihr Stern geht auf.

Nun komm, du werte Kron',

Herr Jesu, Gottes Sohn,

Hosianna!

Wir folgen all

zum Freudensaal

und halten mit das Abendmahl.

Written by: Johann Sebastian Bach
