riefst du� �Bist du uns zu dir gewandt。 

       ;Als     die    Klarheit      deiner     Wahrheit      Unsern      ganzen      Geist 

durchgoss��Und von deinen Liebesscheinen Unser ganzes Herz zerfloss��O 

wie   regte   und   bewegte   Dieses   deine   Liebesbrust��Uns   zu   hegen   und   zu 

pflegen�察�Bis zur suessen Himmelslust。 

       ;Dein   Erbarmen   wird   uns   Armen�察  �Alle   Tage   wieder   neu��Mit          was 

suessen   Liebeskuessen   Zeigst   du   deine   Muttertreu。O   wie   heilig   und   wie 

treulich Leitest du dein Eigentum��O der Gnaden dass wir Maden Werden 

deine Kron' und Ruhm。 

       ;Wir empfehlen unsre Seelen Deinem Aug' und Herz und Hand��Denn 

wir werden nur auf Erden Wallen nach dem Vaterland。O gieb Gnade auf 

dem      Pfade�察   �Der    zum     Reich     durch    Leiden     fuehrt��Ohn'      Verweilen 

fortzueilen Bis uns deine Krone ziert。 

       ;Unser   Wille   bleibe   stille   Wenn   es   noch   so   widrig   geht��Lass   nur 

brausen�察    �wueten�察    �sausen�察   �Was    von    Nord    und    Osten    weht。Lass      nur 

stuermen�察�lass sich tuermen Alle Fluthen aus dem See��Du erblickest und 

erquickest Deine Kinder aus der Hoeh'。; 

       ��Love Divine�察�may Thy sweet power Lead us all for Thee to live��And 

with willing hearts to give Thee What to Thee a man can give��For from 

heaven     Thou    dost   give   us  Peace    and   blessing�察  �full  and   free��And     our 

miseries dost bury In the vast�察�unfathomed sea。 

       Lord�察   �our  wayward      steps   had   led  us  Far   from   Thy    safe´guarded 

fold��As   we   hastened   toward   the   darkness   Where   the   sulphurous   vapors 

rolled��And   Thy   kind   heart   throbbed   with   pity�察  �Our   distress   and   woe   to 

see��Thou didst hasten�察�Thou didst call us�察�Till we turned our steps to Thee。 

       As    Thy    Truth's    convincing      clearness     Filled   our    spirits   from 

above��And our stubborn hearts were melted By the fervor of Thy love��O 

Thy loving heart was moved Us Thy righteous laws to teach��Us to guide�察�

protect and cherish Till Thy heaven we should reach。 

       Without merit we�察�yet mercy Each returning day doth blessWith the 

tokens   of   Thy   goodness�察  �Pledges   of   Thy   faithfulness。O   how   surely   and 

securely Dost Thou lead and guard Thine own��O  what   wonderous grace 

that mortals May add lustre to Thy throne。 

       In our souls we feel the presence Of Thine eye and heart and hand��As 

we here on earth as pilgrims Journey toward the Fatherland。O give grace�察�

that on the pathway�察�Which through trial leads to heaven��Without faltering 

we may hasten Till to each Thy crown is given。 

       Though      our   path   be   set  with   danger     Nothing     shall  our   spirits 

shake��Winds may rage and roar and whistle�察�Storms from North and East 

may break��Waves may roll and leap and thunder On a dark and threatening 

sea��Thou dost ever watch Thy children�察�And their strength and peace wilt 

be。�� 

     Before the vessel sailed the Trustees had followed up their request to 

Spangenberg         by   requiring     the   forty    Swiss     emigrants     to   promise 

submission to his authority�察�and consequently numerous efforts were made 

to be of service to them。It was disappointing work�察�in a way�察�for attempts 

to   give   them   religious   instruction   were   met   with   utter   indifference�察  �but 

their material needs were many。There was a great deal of sickness among 

them�察  �and   four   died�察  �being   buried   hastily�察  �and   without   ceremony。   The 

Moravians themselves were  not exempt�察�several   being dangerously ill   at 

times�察�even Spangenberg was prostrated�察�from having�察�he supposed�察�stayed 

too long on deck in the night air�察�tempted thereto by the beauty of a calm 

night in a southern latitude。But having work to do among the Swiss on the 

following   day�察  �he   roused   himself�察  �and   soon   became   better。   Two   of   the 

Moravians were appointed nurses for the sick Swiss�察�and by the use of the 

medicine provided by the Trustees�察�supplemented by unwearying personal 

attention�察�they were made as comfortable as possible。 

     Nor were the crew forgotten。From the day when the Moravians helped 

lift  the   anchor    as  they   sailed   from    the  coast    of  Dover�察   �they   busied 

themselves in the work of the ship�察�always obliging�察�always helpful�察�until 

the   sailors   came   to   trust   them   absolutely�察   �even   with   the   keys   to   their 

lockers。;When        the   cook    was    suddenly     taken    sick   they   nursed    him

carefully�察�and then appointed two of their number to carry wood and water 

for    him    until  his   strength    returned�察   �and    it  is  no   wonder     that   such 

accommodating passengers were well regarded。 

     Captain Thomson was disposed to favor them�察�but when they realized 

that they were receiving a larger share of food and drink than went to the 

Swiss�察  �they   courteously   declined�察  �fearing   it   would   breed   jealousy。   His 

kindly     feeling�察  �however�察     �continued�察    �and    when    Toeltschig     was    ill  he 

brought a freshly killed fowl from which to make nourishing broth�察�and on 

another   occasion�察  �after   a   severe   attack   of   sea´sickness�察  �they   all   derived 

much benefit from some strong beer which he urged upon them。 

     There were a few cabin passengers on the ship�察�and on one occasion 

Spangenberg   was   invited   to   dine   with   them�察  �but   their   light   jesting   was 

distasteful to him�察�and the acquaintance was not pursued。 

       Making a Start。 

     The   vessel   entered   the   Savannah   River�察  �April   6th�察  �and   the   Captain�察�

taking Spangenberg and Toeltschig into his small boat�察�went ahead to the 

town   of   Savannah�察  �the   capital   of   Georgia�察  �now   the   home   of   about   six 

hundred people。Spangenberg had a letter of introduction to Mr。 Causton�察�

who   received   him   and   his   companion   in   a   friendly   fashion�察  �entertained 

them   at   supper�察  �and   kept   them   over   night。   Mr。   Causton   was   one   of   the 

three    magistrates      charged     with   all  civil   and    criminal    jurisdiction    in 

Savannah�察      �and    his  position    as   keeper    of   the   Store�察  �from    which     all 

provisions      promised      by  the   Trustees     were   dispensed�察     �gave   him    such 

additional   power   that   he   was   really   the   dictator   of   Savannah�察  �ruling   so 

absolutely      that   the  people     finally   rebelled�察   �and   in  1738     secured    his 

dismissal   from  office。  On   his   return   to   England   in   1739�察�he   found   great 

difficulty in trying to explain his accounts to the Trustees�察�was sent back to 

Georgia to procure some needed papers�察�died on the passage over�察�and was 

buried in the ocean。His treatment of the Moravians was characteristic�察�for 

he    was   courtesy     itself  to  the   new´comers       who    had   money     to   spend�察�

inconsiderate   when   hard   times   came�察  �deaf   to   appeals   for   settlement   of 

certain vexing questions�察�and harsh when their wills were opposed to his。 

     The   next   morning�察  �before   sunrise�察  �Spangenberg   and   Toeltschig   went 

apart into the woods�察�fell upon their knees�察�and thanked the Lord that He

had     brought     them     hither    in   safety。The     day    was    spent    in   gaining 

information   as   to   the   customs   of   the   place�察  �Mr。   Causton   again   claiming 

them     as
