Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#490

490. We in One Covenant Are Joined

We in one covenant are joined
And one in Jesus are;
With voices and with hearts combined,
His praise we will declare;
In doctrine and in practice one,
We’ll love and serve the Lord alone,
With one accord sound forth His praise,
Till we shall see His face.
