Ach wann kommen jene Stunden by Manfred Hößl — Lyrics
Ach wann kommen jene Stunden,
ach wann kommet jene Zeit,
da der Heiland wird gefunden
und durch ihn die Welt erfreut!
Du, oh Gott, hast längst versprochen
uns zu senden Deinen Sohn,
die von Dir bestimmten Wochen
laufen ja zu Ende schon.
Ach hier in der Finsternissen
man gab uns Dein göttlich Licht.
Die Schuld Adams, die wir büssen,
uns verhüllt Dein Angesicht.

About Ach wann kommen jene Stunden
This German sacred song for SATB voices expresses a deep longing for divine salvation. The text yearns for the arrival of the Savior, bringing joy to the world and illuminating the darkness of human sin. It speaks of God's promise to send His Son, and the approaching fulfillment of this prophecy. The lyrics invoke the hope for God's powerful mercy to be revealed, lifting the veil of His countenance and bringing light to all nations. The yearning continues for the heavens to open and usher in the eternal joys promised to the righteous, a powerful expression of faith and anticipation for divine grace and redemption.
