Moravian Lives

in the 20 yrs. in wch both offices were committed
to my care, He has counted me worthy to
serve my tenderly beloved Choir, altho' in 
weakness, upwards of 40 yrs. in which time
I have experienced much grace & mercy at
his hands. He only knows, how often I
have wept at his feet over my poverty &
insufficiency, beseeching him to instruct &
counsel me, that in the service of my dr.
Srs. I might always act according to his
mind, but when I consider, that much more
could have been done, than I have perform'd,
I stand ashamed before my dear Savr. as the
greatest Sinner.
Nothing now remains, but that I ask
pardon of my dr. Sisrs. for what I have done amiss, as
my dr. Savr. has graciously pardoned me.
Here in time I shall never be able to thank
him sufficiently for having drawn me to 
himself from my tender infancy with
Cords of love, and bringing me to his people,
but when I come to him, I shall bring him
my thank offering, & adore him to all eterni -ty
This alone has brought me thro'
Lamb, thy being slaughter'd so.
