215. PRAYER FOR ACCESS TO GOD’S THRONE

Previous
Next

​Author:  Nikolaus Ludwig Graf von Zinzendorf (1700-1760)
​Composer:  Heinrich Isaac (1445-1517)​

​1. Thou great High Priest and teacher,
    Give me and ev’ry creature
    Much incense unto pray’r,
    True hearts, sincere and pious,
    The light of grace be nigh us,
    Of all strange spirits to beware.
 
2. An ear to hear Thee gladly,
    An eye that nothing sadly
    Will turn from Thee away.
    My lips be pure and holy,
    Careful my feet and wholly
    Prepared with Thee to go Thy way.
 
3. My hands give blessed greeting.
    My soul its best friend meeting,
    His temple would I be.
    I feel an exultation.
    Thy Spirit’s animation,
    Which none but God’s elect can see.
 
4. Oh, friend so kind and truthful,
    Come pour Thy Spirit fruitful
    Upon each pray’rful heart!
    Each time we come before Thee
    To worship and implore Thee,
    Thy light and grace to us impart.

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!
