Author: Nicholas L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760; Frederick William Foster, 1760-1835 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #573 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Own Thy congregation,
O Thou slaughtered Lamb;
We are here assembled
In Thy holy Name;
Look upon Thy people
Whom Thou by Thy blood
Hast in love redeemed
And brought nigh to God.
2 Thou hast kindly led us
Through these many years;
Now accept our praises
And remove our fears.
Grant us all with gladness
To obey Thy voice;
Let Thy will and pleasure
Be our only choice.
3 May Thy Church arrayed
In the glorious dress
Of her Lord and Saviour’s
Spotless righteousness
Be both now and ever
By Thy blood kept clean,
And in all her members
May Thy grace be seen. Topics: Hymns for Special Occasions Festal Days Languages: English Tune Title: BERTHELSDORF
