This Day Is Holy to the Lord
Author: Frederick William Foster Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #821 (1995) Lyrics: This day is holy to the Lord;

and in his name be glad.

with thanks appear before his throne;
he to our songs of praise and prayer
will lend a gracious ear. Topics: Service Music; Service music--Responses; Worship Scripture: Exodus 20:8 Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP

This Day Is Holy to the Lord
All Hail, Our Church's Elder Dear
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #399 (1995) 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.

'Tis the Most Blessed and Needful Part
Author: Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf; Christian Gregor; Philip Heinrich Molthar Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #768 (1995) Lyrics: 1 ‘Tis the most blessed and needful part
to have in Christ a share,
and to commit our way and heart
unto his faithful care;
this done, our steps are safe and sure,
our hearts’ desires are rendered pure,
and naught can pluck us from his hand,
which lead us to the end.
2 Naught in this world affords true rest
but Christ’s atoning blood.
This purifies the guilty breast,
and reconciles to God.
Hence flows unfeigned love to him
who came lost sinners to redeem,
and Christ our Savior now appears
daily to us more dear.
3 My lasting joy and comfort here
is Jesus’ death and blood;
I with this passport can appear
before the throne of God.
Admitted to the realms above,
I then shall see the Christ I love,
where countless pardoned sinners meet
adoring at his feet. Topics: Atonement; Christ--Atonement; Life in Christ; Salvation Scripture: John 10:27-29 Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP

Look Up, My Soul, to Christ, Thy Joy
Author: John Beck Holmes, 1767-1843; Johann K. Schade, 1666-1698 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #430 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Look up, my soul, to Christ, thy joy,
With a believing mind;
With all the ills which thee annoy
The way to Jesus find;
Here in this world thou hast no home,
Nor lasting joy; to Jesus come,
He is the Pearl of greatest price,
Who all thy wants supplies.
2 Steadfast in faith to Jesus cleave,
His faithfulness review,
And every burden with Him leave,
Whose love is daily new;
His ways with thee are just and right,
He puts thy enemies to flight,
However threatening they appear;
Take courage, He is near.
3 Arise and seek the things above;
Let heaven be all thy aim,
Where Jesus dwells in bliss and love,
And earth and sin disclaim;
The world and all its empty joy
His potent breath will once destroy;
Abiding rest and peace of mind
In Christ alone we find. Topics: The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP

How Needful, Strictly to Inquire
Author: Samuel T. Benade, 1746-1830 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #473 (1969) First Line: How needful, strictly to inquire Lyrics: 1 How needful, strictly to inquire
And ask our hearts each day,
“Doth Jesus’ love me still inspire,
My thoughts and actions sway?
Am I a branch in Christ, the Vine?
Am I His own, and is He mine?
Do I by faith unto Him cleave,
And to His honor live?”
2 The Spirit’s witness, full and clear,
Will state the real case,
And either draw a contrite tear
Or thanks unfeigned raise;
Hence will the consequence ensue,
That the full purpose we renew,
To run in faith the appointed race,
Supported by His grace. Topics: The Life in Christ Holiness Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP
