Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures by Johann Löhner — Lyrics
Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures
sing of those who spread the treasures
in the holy gospels shrined:
blessèd tidings of salvation,
peace on earth, their proclamation,
love from God to lost mankind.
Thou, by whom the words were given
for our light and guide to heaven,
Spirit, on our darkness shine;

About Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures
This hymn is suitable for occasions where the choir wishes to celebrate the spread of the Christian gospel. The text focuses on the blessed tidings of salvation and peace brought by the apostles, and a prayer for the Holy Spirit to guide the hearts of believers. It calls for adoration of Jesus and praises for his redeeming love, asking that the choir and congregation might join the voices of the redeemed in eternal praise. Johann Löhner's setting for SATB choir is a fitting way to express these profound themes of faith, hope, and love, urging devotion and unending gratitude.
