164. THE IMAGE OF CHRIST

Previous
Next

​Author:  Nikolaus Ludwig Graf von Zinzendorf (1700-1760)
​Composer:  Hans Georg Nägeli (1773-1836)​

1. O, Saviour, might I thus as Thee,
    Like-minded, pure, and humble be!
    With Thee, O Lord, I’ll walk aright,
    A child and servant in Thy light!
 
2. My duty in Thy life I see;
    My light and mirror shalt Thou be.
    Our likeness, Lord, is far from Thine.
    Thy form and image is divine!
 
3. How firm in God didst Thou confide,
    That He with Thee would e’er abide.
    Do share Thy grace that I might be
    In bonds of faith thus bound to Thee!
 
4. Alone out on the mountain’s height,
    When round Thee drew the shades of night,
    Thy pray’rs arose to God alone
    Such zeal my heart does wish to own!
 
5. Thy helping hand and loving heart
    To sick and lost didst Thou impart,
    And constantly for all didst care;
    Thy virtues, Lord, to me do share!
 
6. Rebuke of man, didst Thou endure,
    Thus as a lamb so meek and pure;
    But Thou couldst glorify the name
    Of God with earnest zeal and fame.
 
7. Thy fearless zeal wilt Thou impart;
    With courage do inflame my heart!
    Discreetly let me walk with Thee;
    Let all my motives holy be.
 
8. Thy servants who have gone before
    With Thee their cross and sorrows bore.
    On Zion’s mount the ransomed band
    Rejoicing by the throne they stand.
 
9. O, Saviour, help, and lead the way
    To heaven’s gates, this child, I pray.
    When sorrows no more burden me,
    I’ll praise Thee in 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!
