72. PURE AND HOLY LOVE

Previous

​Author:  Johann Daniel Falk (1768-1826)​
​Composer:  Hans Georg Nägeli (1773-1836)​

​1. Holy love, bright flame from heaven,
    Only to pure hearts revealed,
    From the Lamb whose life was given
    In our heart and bosom sealed.
    In our heart and bosom sealed.
 
2. Joy and peace, Thy blessing, give us,
    Joy the world cannot obtain!
    We are thirsty; come relieve us;
    What has strayed, unite again.
    What has strayed, unite again.
 
3. Sweet repose and peace of heaven,
    Gifts which Jesus doth bestow,
    Come, revive us when we’re weary,
    Treasure which we love and know.
    Treasure which we love and know.
 
4. Mercy, kindness and forbearance
    Enter in and in us live,
    That our brother’s debt and failing
    We with gladness may forgive.
    We with gladness may forgive.
 
5. Meekness, friendship, truth’s attire,
    Likeness after God’s own will,
    May both friend and foe desire
    What our soul and spirit fills.
    What our soul and spirit fills.
 
6. Goodness, kindness, love most tender,
    Do thy helping hand extend;
    Thy protection do Thou render
    And Thy foe in love defend.
    And Thy foe in love defend.
 
7. Holy faith, our Rock and Refuge,
    Give us courage to be true
    And to fight a valiant conflict,
    Till the conq’ring host we view.
    Till the conq’ring host we view.
 
8. Tranquil silence, gentle whisp’ring,
    Glory, where Jehovah reigns,
    Show us, when the scorners mock us,
    Thy reward for vict’ries gained.
    Thy reward for vict’ries gained.
 
9. Love of Jesus, love of brethren,
    Heal our souls from ev’ry smart!
    Grant to us Thy purest motives
    And a pure, unspotted heart.
    And a pure, unspotted heart.

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!
