Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#328

328. Christ is Our Master, Lord, and God

1 Christ is our Master, Lord, and God,
The fullness of the Three in One;
His life, death, righteousness, and blood
Our faith’s foundation are alone;
His Godhead and His death shall be
Our theme to all eternity.

2 On Him we’ll venture all we have,
Our lives, our all, to Him we owe;
None else is able us to save,
Nought but the Savior will we know;
This we subscribe with heart and hand,
Resolved through grace thereby to stand.

3 This now with heaven’s resplendent host
We echo through the Church of God,
Among the heathen make our boast
Of Jesus’ saving death and blood;
We loud, like many waters, join
In showing forth His love divine.
