Jesus Thou art Coming by Anonymous — Lyrics
Jeus, Thou art coming, Holy as Thou art,
Thou, the God Who made me, To my sinful heart.
Jesus, I believe it, On Thy only word;
Kneeling, I adore Thee, As my King and Lord.

About Jesus Thou art Coming
This motet expresses profound personal devotion and penitence. The words paint a scene of a believer kneeling before Christ, acknowledging their sinfulness while simultaneously expressing unwavering faith and adoration. The text moves from a humble recognition of Jesus's divine nature and imminent arrival to a heartfelt apology for past transgressions. The composer's setting for SATB voices likely enhances the emotional weight of this intimate prayer. The anonymous origin of this English sacred motet suggests it may have served a devotional purpose, resonating with individuals seeking spiritual solace and a renewed commitment to their faith.
