Sissel - When Will My Heart Arise lyrics
[Sissel - When Will My Heart Arise lyrics]
When will my heart arise?
The dew will rise the dawning
The sun rise to the skies
Oh Jesu, while you're sleeping
The whole world sings it's joys
But, I am filled with weeping
When will my heart arise?
I am the thorns that crowned you
I am the whips that scourge
I am the chains that bound you
Who all my sins did purge
I am the cross you shoulder
A cross that crucified
Against your tongue the boulder
When will my heart arise?
I heed here by your manger
Oh blessed winter child
Great, do not have me stranger
Into the winter wild
I kneel here for forgiveness
And all my sins despise
Forgive me gentle baby
Then will my heart arise
