Author: Nicholas L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760; Abraham von Gersdorf, 1704-1784 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #211 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Most gracious God and Lord,
Mankind’s almighty Savior,
Worthy to be adored
By all, both now and ever!
Those souls are blest indeed
Who Thee embrace by faith,
As Thou for us wast laid
Low in the dust of death.
2 In Thee I trust by faith,
Jesus, my God and Savior;
On Thine atoning death
My soul shall feed for ever;
Thy sufferings shall remain
Deep on my heart impressed,
Thou Son of God and man,
Till I with Thee shall rest.
3 Eternal thanks be Thine,
Author of our salvation;
Thou didst our hearts incline
To accept Thine invitation.
We are Thy property,
O may we Thine abide;
This is our only plea,
That Thou for us hast died. Topics: God the Son Praise and Adoration of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT
