My beauty is, my glorious dress;
Midst flaming worlds, in this arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

Lord, I believe Thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy seat of God,
Forever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e’en for my soul, was shed.

Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full redemption made.
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full redemption made.

Bold can I stand in every way,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, by Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, by Thee, absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
Its glory is forever new.
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
Its glory is forever new.

Thou God of power, Thou God of love,
Let all Thy saints Thy mercy prove;
Our beauty this, our glorious dress,
Jesus the Lord, our Righteousness.
Let all Thy saints Thy mercy prove;

In the Blood, no one can lay a charge on me, not Satan, not him, not her not anybody. For in the blood I’m just Christ before God.

Count Nicolaus Ludwig Von Zinzendorf was the founder of the Moravian Missions. He came from a long line of nobility. He was born May 26, 1700 at Dresden, Germany. His father was known for his piety and was a Prime Minister at the Saxon court but died soon after Nicolaus was born. Like Timothy he had a godly mother and grandmother; so from his youth he was in close contact with the word of God. As a child he had the ability to gather children together to pray!
In 1740 in reflecting on his early years he said, "It is more than 30 years since I received an impression of divine grace through the preaching of the cross. The desire to bring souls to Christ took possession of me and my heart became fixed on the Lamb."
He started writing hymns at a very young age. In all he wrote about 2,000! The painting of the crucifixion by the artist Stenberg which was hung in the galleries at Düsseldorf with the words on the frame “All this I did for thee, what hast thou done for Me?" Zinzendorf saw this painting in 1719 in a tour to Düsseldorf, he came upon it at a gallery. He was deeply touched by the question in the painting and resolved to live for the Lord.
He married on September 7, 1723 to the Countess Ermuth Dorothea, sister to his friend Count Reuss and it was a happy marriage for both. Not long after he came in contact with persecuted followers of John Huss ( burned at the stake in 1415) who were scattered around by the enemy. He bought an estate named Berthelsdorf in Saxony at the foot of a hill called Hutberg ( meaning Shelter Mountain) which he changed to “Herrnhut” which means “The Lord’s Shelter. ” Here he allowed them to live and eventually became their leader. From there the Word of the Lord sounded out to the regions beyond—- Greenland, Labrador, Patagonia, West Indies, America and Europe. He spent much time in London and it was there that he helped bring John and Charles Wesley to Christ.
His wife was taken from him June 19, 1756, and a year later he remarried Anne Nitschmann who was not a nobility but was one with the sisters in Herrnhut. Here he spent his last years in peace and quiet. Then on May 5, 1790 he caught a fever of which he did not recover. His strength dwindled and on June 9, close to age 60, he went to be with the Lord whom he had so faithfully served. Just before his departure he said to his son-in-law, ” I am going to the Savior. I am ready; I am quite resigned to the will of my Lord. If he is no longer willing to make use of me here, I am quite ready to go with Him. ”
His coffin was carried by 32 preachers, who happened to be at Herrnhut at the time. They had been trained by him for the work of the Lord which took them to distant parts all over the world. Over two thousand attended the funeral to the burying place. One asked, ” What monarch was ever honored by a funeral like this? ”
