Christian Hearts in Love United

Author: Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian hearts in love united: search to know God's holy will. Let his love, in us ignited, more and more our spirits fill. Christ the head, and we his members— we reflect the light he is. Christ the master, we disciples– he is ours, and we are his. 2 Grant, Lord, that with your direction, "Love each other" we comply. Help us live in true affection, your love to exemplify. Let our mutual love be glowing brightly so that all may view that we, as on one stem growing, living branches are in you. 3 Come, then, living church of Jesus, covenant with him anew. Unto him who conquered for us may we pledge our service true. May our lives reflect the brightness of God's love in Jesus shown. To the world we then bear witness: we belong to God alone.

Wilde, 1826-96 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Refuge of the weary, Blest Redeemer, whom we love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Savior from the world above, O how oft Thine eyes, offended, Gaze upon the sinner's fall! Yet, upon the cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see Thee wounded, bleeding, See Thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet Thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what Thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for Thee! May our eyes be ever turning To Thy cross of agony, Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Savior's side, Graven in our hearts forever Dwell the cross, the Crucified!

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, let Thy sanction rest On the union witnessed now; Be it with Thy presence blest; Ratify the nuptial vow; Hallowed let this union be With each other, and with Thee. 2 Thou in Cana didst appear, At a marriage feast like this; Deign to meet us, Savior, here, Fountain of unmingled bliss! Crown with joy this festive board— Joy that earth cannot afford. 3 We no miracle require— Turning water into wine— All our panting hearts desire Is to taste Thy love divine: Holy influence from above Consecrating earthly love. 4 Let the path our friends pursue From this hour together trod, Many though its days, or few, Be a pilgrimage to God; To the land where rest is given, To our Father’s house in Heaven.
