My Redeemer, Overwhelmed with Anguish
Author: John Swertner, 1746-1813; Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf, 1727-1752 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #117 (1969) Lyrics: 1 My Redeemer, overwhelmed with anguish,
Went to Olivet for me;
There He kneels, His heart doth heave and languish
In a bitter agony;
Fear and horror seize His soul and senses,
For the hour of darkness now commences;
Ah, how doth He weep and groan
For rebellious man to atone.
2 Could we tune our hearts and voices higher
Than man’s most exalted lays,
Yet, till joined to the celestial choir,
Cold would prove our warmest praise;
Jesus’ love exceeds all comprehension,
But our love to Him we scarce dare mention;
We may weep beneath His Cross,
But He wept and bled for us.
3 Lamb of God, Thou shalt remain forever
Of our songs the only theme;
For Thy boundless love, Thy grace and favor,
We will praise Thy saving Name;
That for our transgressions Thou wast wounded
Shall by us in nobler strains be sounded,
When we, perfected in love,
Once shall join the Church above. Topics: The Church Year Passion Week Languages: English Tune Title: COVENANT

We in confidence draw near;
Condescend, in mercy, the confession
Of our grateful hearts to hear;
Thee we gladly own in every nation,
Head and Master of Thy congregation,
Conscious that in every place
Thou dispensest life and grace.
2 Thy blest people, trusting in Thy merit,
On the earth’s extended face
From each other far, but one in spirit,
Sound with one accord Thy praise.
May we never cease to make confession,
That Thy death’s the cause of our salvation;
We to Thee, our Head and King,
Joyful hallelujahs sing. Topics: God the Son His Priesthood and Kingship Languages: English Tune Title: COVENANT

2 Could our hearts and voices then join forces
in exalted songs to raise;

we may weep beneath his cross,

Should Our Minds, to Earthy Objects Cleaving
Author: Frederick William Foster, 1760-1835 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #475 (1969) First Line: Should our minds, to earthly objects cleaving Lyrics: 1 Should our minds, to earthly objects cleaving,
Of the mark forgetful prove?
God forbid! All worldly trifles leaving,
Let us fix our thoughts above,
Have with Christ in heaven our conversation,
Keep in view our blessed destination,
As redeemed from this world’s thrall
To pursue our heavenly call.
2 Let us watch and pray and never slumber,
Lest the foe approach unseen;
Cast away whate’er would us encumber,
Fear to touch the thing unclean;
Lest, escaped from the world’s pollution,
We again give way to sin’s delusion,
Ah, ‘twould cause us pungent pain,
Christ to crucify again. Topics: The Life in Christ Holiness Languages: English Tune Title: COVENANT
