#786: O Holy Spirit, Enter In
Mar. 24th, 2021 10:50 pmIn a reprise of the queen of chorales, we get a lot of Jesus=Proper Nouns. (Well in this case, I guess the Holy Spirit=Proper Nouns.) Sun, Light, Rock, Source of life.
The second verse starts out by praying for guidance "on the narrow way," but then hoping "that we may follow you forever free." Free from what? Other people "derid[ing]" us? Sin? In some sense it's like, we don't necessarily want the freedom to make bad choices, we want to have the knowledge and strength to make the right choices. But I'm not sure I would try to spin that as "true freedom."
