Previous
Next

​Author:  Christoph Christian Sturm (1741-1786)
​Composer:  Johann Heinrich Egli, 1787 (1742-1810)​

​1. To Thee, O Lord, be this day dedicated!
    Let all rejoice who join to celebrate it!
    Let us with joy be in Thy nearness staying,
    And to Thee praying.
 
2. The heav’nly hosts extol Thee with their praises;
    Our tongue its voice in honor to Thee raises.
    Then be our thanks and all our supplication
    Thy exaltation.
 
3. In vain this world would tempt me with its pleasure;
    My spirit in Thy statues finds a treasure.
    The holy word Thy messengers are preaching
    Shall be my teaching.
 
4. Let us in meekness, Father, come before Thee;
    I know Thou lovest those who would adore Thee.
    What Thy flock needs each day of earthly living,
    Thou wilt be giving.
 
5. May we today, through Thy good Spirit learning,
    From ways that please Thee not our steps be turning!
    O let us through Thy Word new pow’rs receiving,
    To Thee be cleaving!
 
6. This is a day of blessing and rejoicing;
    On gospel pastures Thou Thy flock art leading.
    From fountains clear and living waters flowing,
    Good fruits are growing.
 
7. This we remember with devout thanksgiving,
    That Thou this day didst break the grave, and living,
    Didst show Thyself to Thy disciples, saddened;
    And their hearts gladdened.
 
8. Yea, praise be Thine! Grim death hast Thou defeated;
    O Prince of Life, salvation is completed!
    For us, Redeemer, Thou hast been victorious;
    Thy praise be glorious!
 
9. Thy fame resound in highest exultation
    Today from this, Thy faithful congregation.
    Praise ye His name, ye saints in earth and heaven
    Forever. Amen!

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!
