Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#589

589. We Who Here Together Are Assembled

We who here together are assembled,
Joining hearts and hands in one,
Bind ourselves with love that’s undissembled
Christ to love and serve alone;
O may our imperfect songs and praises
Be well-pleasing unto Thee, Lord Jesus;
Say, “My peace I leave with you.”
Amen, Amen, be it so.
