| 289 | N. L. V. ZINZENDORF (1700-1760) from German | L.M. |
| 1 |
Lord Jesus, holy lamb of God, Who shed'st for us Thine own life-blood, Come, teach us all Thy love -- then pain In life were sweet, and death were gain. | |
| 2 |
Take Thou our hearts, and let them be For ever held, O Lord, for Thee. Thy willing servants, let us wear The seal of love for ever there. | |
| 3 |
How blest are they who still abide Close sheltered by Thy watchful side, Who life and strength from Thee receive, And with Thee move, and in Thee live! | |
| 4 |
Ah, Lord, enlarge our scanty thought, To know the wonders Thou hast wrought; Unloose our stamm'ring tongues to tell Thy love, immense, unsearchable! | |
