CHRISTIAN HEARTS IN LOVE UNITED
Lyrics by Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1723; tr. composite
Using the hymn tune Ball Hill
Arranged by Dale Grotenhuis
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, its members,
We reflect the light He is.
Christ, the Master, we disciples,
He is ours and we are His.Grant, Lord, that with your direction
"Love each other" we comply.
Help us live in true affection
And your love to exemplify.Let our mutual love be glowing
Brightly so that all may view
That we, as on one stem now growing,
Living branches are in you.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.
