207. ASSEMBLY HYMN

Previous
Next

​Author:  Unknown
​Composer:  Hans Georg Nägeli (1773-1836)​

​  1. Assembled congregation,
      With thanks and adoration,
      Before God’s throne appear.
      With pray’r and supplication
      Each heart shall seek occasion
      To see the light of grace so clear.
 
  2. In silence give attention,
      The Lord will cheer and strengthen
      With His own word and hand.
      If earnestly we seek Him,
      And pray’rfully entreat Him,
      He’ll not let us as orphans stand.
 
  3. His word is full of promise;
      His angels He’ll admonish
      His servants to attend,
      Who in His grace are sharing,
      And here on earth preparing
      For that bright home and happy land.
 
  4. Send, Lord, Thy holy teaching
      To us in humble preaching,
      Yet in the Spirit’s pow’r,
      That we, a new creation,
      In love and true devotion
      May bear our burden ev’ry hour.
 
  5. Thy Word alone enlightens,
      With light and power brightens
      What seems a mystery.
      It gives us understanding
      In living faith expanding,
      Subduing ev’ry enemy.
 
  6. Inspire, O Lord, each servant
      With love and ardor fervent
      Thy gospel to proclaim;
      That, prompted by Thy Spirit,
      They work and toil with merit
      Unto the glory of Thy name.
 
  7. Thy messengers Thou sendest,
      By them to us extendest
      The living Bread of heav’n.
      That none of us may perish,
      Arouse our hearts to cherish
      The grace and healing to us given.
 
  8. Give faithful servants ever
      Who have but one endeavor,
      Thy Gospel to proclaim;
      Who heed Thy Spirit holy
      And strive and labor solely,
      O, Lord, to glorify Thy name.
 
  9. O Father, be the Giver
      Of Jesus’ powers ever
      Unto Thy children here;
      Let more and more be given
      The inner life from heaven
      To all who pray with heart sincere!
 
10. O, bind together fully
      With love’s devotion holy
      Thy people, dearest Lord,
      For whom Thy blood was given
      To ransom them for heaven.
      O, hallow them and keep them, Lord!

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!
