139. LIVING IN FAITH

Previous
Next

​Author:  Karl Philipp Spitta (1801-1859)
​Music Source:  German Melody, 1823​

1. Oh, what is more delightful,
    And in what blessed state,
    When we our souls and bodies
    To God do consecrate?
 
2. We live in blessed nearness
    To Thee, Lord, day by day,
    As if our eyes behold Thee;
    And joy attends our way.
 
3. Our lips may be in silence,
   Yet prays our heart to Thee;
   Our thoughts are e’er ascending
   To heaven constantly.
 
4. With mercy and with goodness
    Our hearts are oft refreshed,
    And when we need His presence
    He answers our request.
 
5. Around His footstool bowing
    As children dear are we,
    And when our tears are flowing
    Straight to His heart we flee.
 
6. And when we do grow weary
    He bringeth us to rest;
    We in our graves do tarry,
    And sleep there with the blest.
 
7. There freed from earthly burdens,
    With no more pain or ache,
    Till in the glorious morning
    He calls: “Awake! Awake!”
 
8. What further shall transpire
    May unto us but seem,
    While we are rising higher,
    As if but in a dream.
 
9. With angels upward soaring
    Into the realms of light,
    Our Saviour there beholding,
    We’ll share His glory bright.
 
10. There with the angels singing,
      In heaven we shall roam,
      With gratitude proclaiming:
      We’ve reached the soul’s bright home.

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!
