Two stanzas of a hymn written by the Moravian bishop, Comenius. It is well sung by the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia fraternity at Moravian College, Allentown, PA.
John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) was a bishop in the Unity of the Brethren (Moravian church). He was one of the earliest champions of universal education. Comenius' legacy is that of being the "Father of Modern Education."
Lord as we gather in this place
You nourish us by this same grace;
And so we lift our grateful praise
That we may serve in these our days.
Send us as workers in your field
That it abundant harvest yield
Of souls brought safe into your store
E’er suns and seasons come no more.
