He came to bring the Mourners Joy

O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from the Body of Death?

See my Soul, so Tightly Bound up with Sin that it cannot help itself. Son of God, on Your Throne of Mercy! Jesus, hear my cry, let Comfort come to me.

Soften me so that my Heart melts and pours out it’s Tears before You. Stand by me and set me Free. Keep me Safe from Satan’s Snare.

Yes, there are even more Enemies. The World and the Flesh are attacking Your Spiritual Desires. I am Afraid! How long must I bear these plagues?

O, where can I flee, who will save me? Who will soothe my heavy Heart and break the Chains that bind me? I am weak, O Jesus, have Mercy on this poor and weak Sinner.

Come, lay your Head on My Breast and I will give you Strength and Life. I will cleanse you of Sins and Desires for Worldly Pleasures.

My Wounds bring you Salvation, Rest and Peace. My Mercy and My Blood will take away all Guilt, and Nothing shall put you to Shame.

Even the Sun surrenders itself to this red Flood. Every Thing is washed Clean as the Snow. Every Thing that shines in Splendor and Glory has achieved it through My Blood.

Now the Lamb of God has strangled the old Man and set the Newborn Free. To You I will sing Psalms of Praise and Glory for Ever and Ever! Amen.
