'Wenn wird doch mein Jesus kommen' is a hymn from the Freylinghausen Geist-Reichen Songbook, a collection of hymns and spiritual songs compiled by Johann Anastasius Freylinghausen in the late 17th century. The hymn is anonymous, and its exact date of composition is unknown. The hymn is in German and has four stanzas. It is a prayer for the second coming of Jesus Christ, expressing the longing and anticipation of the faithful for the day when Christ will return to earth. The first stanza begins with the words "Wenn wird doch mein Jesus kommen" (When will my Jesus come), and sets the tone for the rest of the hymn. The second stanza describes the joy and happiness that will accompany Christ's return, with the faithful singing and praising God. The third stanza speaks of the end of suffering and pain, and the fourth and final stanza expresses the hope of eternal life with Christ in heaven. The hymn is characterized by its simple melody and straightforward lyrics, which make it easy to sing and remember. It is often sung in churches and other religious gatherings, particularly during Advent and other times of the year when the second coming of Christ is a prominent theme. There is no record of a specific premiere or performance of the hymn, as it was likely sung in various churches and religious communities throughout Germany and beyond. However, its enduring popularity and continued use in worship services attest to its enduring appeal and significance as a spiritual song.
