​Authors:  v. 1 Martha Elisabeth Spangenberg (1708-1789),
v. 2 Christian Gregor (1723-1801),
                            v. 3 and 5 Ernst Gottlieb Woltersdorf (1725-1761),

1. Forever be praised,
    God’s spirit of grace,
    That from Thee I learn
    How friendly my Saviour
    To sinners doth turn.
 
2. If only my thought
    Entirely were fraught,
    With soul and with voice
    To cause, O, my Saviour,
    Thy heart to rejoice!
 
3. The hours are gone
    And gain there is none,
    If they were not spent
    In trusting in Jesus
    Who to us was sent.
 
4. My spirit this day
    Will faithfully say;
    Reign Thou in my heart;
    Thy counsel and wisdom
    From me not depart!
 
5. O blessed are they
    In holy array,
    Who with eager mind
    Salvation in Jesus
    Did seek and did find!

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!
