​Authors:  Christian Gellert (1715-1769) and Christoph Friedrich Neander (1723-1802)​
Music Source:  Zions-Harfe, oder, Lieder für die Versammlungen der Gläubigen, Bern, Switzerland, 1844

1. We praise Thee, Lord, with pow’r to save!
    Thou didst arise from death and grave.
    Thou hast dispelled the pow’rs of night;
    Our life is now revealed in light.
 
2. My soul is ever praising Thee!
    I am redeemed eternally.
    From heaven’s throne to earthly strife
    Thou didst descend to give us life.
 
3. I’m reconciled to God through Thee.
    Salvation’s strength is crowning me.
    With God Thou reignest without end;
    Thou art my Saviour and my friend.
 
4. From judgment and damnation free,
    Believing I do worship Thee!
    Thou livest and I’m ever Thine,
    And now eternal life is mine.
 
5. I shall, when Thou, O Lord of All,
    Shall come with pow’r the dead to call,
    Arise from death and leave my grave
    To dwell with Thee forever safe.
 
6. Before Thy throne and in Thy sight,
    Forever like the angels bright,
    In realms above the saved shall shine.
    O what a glory shall be mine!
 
7. O dwell within me, Lord, I pray!
    I’ll strive to live for Thee each day.
    O, may my faith in Thee be true;
    Unto Thy image me renew!
 
8. Since Jesus rose, there’s strength and life
    To help me through this earthly strife.
    O, Saviour, grant that I may be
    Thy faithful servant, pure and free!
 
9. Be Thou my comfort, light, and share,
    My life, salvation, here and there.
    O, may my soul to Thee ascend,
    When here my pilgrimage shall end!
 
10. O, thou redeemed, do glorify
      The Saviour, who now lives on high!
      And there He intercedes for thee;
      He lives in all eternity!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
