1 When simplicity we cherish, Then the soul is full of light; But that light will quickly vanish, When of Jesus we lose sight. 2 He who naught but Christ desireth, He whom nothing else can cheer But the joy which He inspireth, Lending to His voice an ear; 3 Who sincerely loveth Jesus, And upon His grace depends; Who but willeth what Him pleases, Simply following His commands; 4 Who to Jesus humbly cleaveth, Pays obedience to His Word, Yea, in closest union liveth With our Savior, Head, and Lord. 5 Who in Jesus Christ abideth, And, from self-dependence free, In naught else but Him confideth Walks in true simplicity. 6 He who is by Christ directed, Trusting the Good Shepherd’s care, From all harm will be protected, And no danger needs to fear. | Moravian Book of Worship #717 (1995) Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #388 (1969) |
