1 O, Saviour, might I thus as Thee, Like-minded, pure, and humble be! With Thee, O Lord, I’ll walk aright, A child and servant in Thy light! 2 My duty in Thy life I see; My light and mirror shalt Thou be. Our likeness, Lord, is far from Thine. Thy form and image is divine! 3 How firm in God didst Thou confide, That He with Thee would e’er abide. Do share Thy grace that I might be In bonds of faith thus bound to Thee! 4 Alone out on the mountain’s height, When round Thee drew the shades of night, Thy pray’rs arose to God alone Such zeal my heart does wish to own! 5 Thy helping hand and loving heart To sick and lost didst Thou impart, And constantly for all didst care; Thy virtues, Lord, to me do share! 6 Rebuke of man, didst Thou endure, Thus as a lamb so meek and pure; But Thou couldst glorify the name Of God with earnest zeal and fame. 7 Thy fearless zeal wilt Thou impart; With courage do inflame my heart! Discreetly let me walk with Thee; Let all my motives holy be. 8 Thy servants who have gone before With Thee their cross and sorrows bore. On Zion’s mount the ransomed band Rejoicing by the throne they stand. 9 O, Saviour, help, and lead the way To heaven’s gates, this child, I pray. When sorrows no more burden me, I’ll praise Thee in eternity!

He traveled extensively on the Continent, in Great Britain, and in America, preaching "Christ, and him crucified," and organizing societies of Moravian brethren. John Wesley is said to have been under obligation to Zinzendorf for some ideas on singing, organization of classes, and Church government.
