Original text and translations

English text 1. Tis Jesus protects me, my fears now remove, And let me enjoy the sweet smiles of my love; Though pressed with temptation, the tempter shall fly Where faith in its power bids Jesus draw nigh; O come, blessed Jesus, and enter my heart, And sorrow and sighing shall quickly depart. 2. When Jesus was tempted and tried like a man, The malice of Satan was vented in vain; And I, by the power of faith in the Lamb, May silence the tempter and put him to shame. O come, blessed Jesus, and enter my heart, And sorrow and sighing shall quickly depart.

3. Hard combats, alas! in the field are at hand: Ten thousand assailants before us do stand; But victory is sure on the side of our King, And they that trust in him shall victory sing; O come, blessed Jesus, and enter my heart, And sorrow and sighing shall quickly depart. 4. Here, faith on the one hand gives strength to the soul; And love on the other the passions control; The anchor of hope, when it is fixed secure, The waves of temptation shall safely endure. O come, blessed Jesus, and enter my heart, And sorrow and sighing shall quickly depart.
