They Walked with God

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #396 (1995) Topics: Festival: Renewal of the Unitas Fratrum; Moravian festivals--August 14 First Line: They walked with God in peace and love Lyrics: 1 They walked with God in peace and love but failed with one another; while sternly for the faith they strove, they fell out with each other. But he in whom they put their trust, who knew their frames, that they were dust, with pity healed their weakness. 2 He found them in his house of prayer with one accord assembled, and so revealed his presence there; they wept for joy and trembled. One cup they drank, one bread they broke, on baptism shared, one language spoke, forgiving and forgiven. 3 Then forth they went, with tongues of flame in one blessed theme delighting; the love of Jesus, and his name, God's children all uniting. That love our theme and watchword still; the law of love may we fulfill - give love as love we're given. Scripture: Acts 11:1-18 Languages: English Tune Title: SPERATUS

Use us as a means of blessing: make us stronger, give us faith. 5 Give us faith to be more faithful, give us hope to be more true, give us love to go on learning: God! Encourage and renew!

All Hail, Our Church's Elder Dear

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #399 (1995) Topics: Festival: Jesus Christ as Chief Elder; Moravian festivals--November 13 Lyrics: 1 All hail, our church's Elder dear, O Jesus, glorious head! To your disciples now appear as risen from the dead. Let our rejoicing souls in you the tokens of your passion view, and hear your gentle voice anew, say "Peace be unto you." 2 Remembering what our fathers told, you did in their young day, this solemn jubilee we hold, May we, as then did they, ourselves in covenant now bind with soul and strength, with heart and mind, through life, in death, on land, o'er sea, to you disciples be. 3 Revive your work; amid the years our members still employ on needy souls to sow in tears, with hope to reap in joy. Though wide the fields, the lab'rers few, if you our failing faith renew, though weak, we as your servants, Lord, May still fulfill your word. 4 O Lord, in whom we all are one, if faithful found and true, your will on earth by each be done as each in heav'n would do. To you ourselves we first would give; live to your glory while we live, from step to step on you rely, then in your service die. Scripture: John 20:26 Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP

Let his love in us ignited more and more our spirits fill. He the Head, we are his members; we reflect the light he is. He the Master, we disciples, he is ours and we are his. 2 May we all so love each other and all selfish claims deny, so that each one for the other will not hesitate to die. Even so our Lord has loved us; for our lives he gave his life. Still he grieves and still he suffers, for our selfishness and strife. 3 Since, O Lord, you have demanded that our lives your love should show so we wait to be commanded forth into your world to go. Kindle is us love's compassion so that ev'ryone may see in our faith and hope the promise of a new humanity. Scripture: John 13:35 Languages: English Tune Title: CASSEL

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness, Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY
