33. THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE SAINTS

Previous
Next

​Author:  Nikolaus Ludwig Graf von Zinzendorf, 1725 (1700-1760)
​Music Source:  Johannes Thommen's Erbaulicher Musicalischer Christen-Schatz, ​Basel, Switzerland, 1745

Translated: Apostolic Christian Elders, 1921
​  1. Heart with heart in love united,
      Seek upon God’s heart repose.
      Let your love, to flames ignited,
      To the Saviour upward flow.
      He the Head and we His members;
      He the light and we the glow;
      He the Master, we His brethren,
      In true fellowship we grow.
 
  2. Come, ye children of Jehovah,
      Grace for grace take from above.
      Follow on in true submission;
      Keep the pledge of faith and love.
      Should your love and your affection
      Threaten to decrease and wane,
      O implore for God’s correction
      Till its strength it may regain.
 
  3. May we all so love each other;
      May our motive be so pure,
      That each member for his brother
      Death and torture can endure.
      So did Jesus love us truly,
      When He shed for us his blood;
      You will grieve His heart unduly
      If you seek your selfish good.
 
  4. Each should stimulate the other,
      Childlike, tractable and meek,
      In the steps of Christ to follow,
      Who in death our life did seek.
      Let us ever be awakened,
      All our powers day by day,
      Willingly to give in service
      And His kindness to repay.
 
  5. Hallelujah! Oh, what glory!
      Oh, what depth of love we trace,
      When we see the heart of Jesus,
      Who redeemed our guilty race;
      Now He, King of all the spirits,
      Is our Father, dear to us
      Though invisible, our Master
      Yet is truly near to us.
 
  6. O Thou gracious friend, unite us
      As Thy consecrated band;
      And, as was Thy last instruction,
      May in fervent love we stand!
      Do Thou join in sacred nearness
      With Thyself and with Thy fold
      All who see Thy light and clearness
      And Thy glory do behold.
 
  7. Thus Thy pray’r to God the Father
      Its fulfillment shall behold,
      When all those whom Thou hast chosen
      In His love He would enfold.
      As Thou art with them united
      They also as One should be
      In true love should serve each other,
      Finding joy in unity.
 
  8. Prince of peace! O let Thy concord
      Find in us a welcome warm!
      Love, O let us ne’er grow weary
      Thy blest service to perform.
      Naught can ease our earthly burden
      And our weariness remove
      In our warfare ’gainst the evil,
      As the power of Thy love.
 
  9. Love, since thou hast then commanded
      That in love we should be rife,
      O revive each drooping spirit,
      Bring the dying back to life!
      Light the flames of love undying
      That each one may plainly see:
      We, as of one tribe and family
      To one Lord devoted be.
 
10. Let us then be so united
      As Thou with the Father art,
      That not one of Thy weak members
      Here on earth shall stand apart.
      From the flames of Thy own burning
      May our light partake its glow;
      And that we are Thy disciples
      All the world may surely know.

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!
