206. God is My Portion

1 God is my portion, saith my soul;
I would not earth's vain wealth control;
There's naught on land nor in the sea,
But I'd forsake it all for thee.

Refrain:
For Thee, for Thee, dear Lord, for Thee;
If Thou wilt but my portion be,
If Thou wilt but my portion be,
I'd have no treasure, Lord, besides,
But live forever satisfied.

2 God is my portion, saith my soul;
Tho' troubles billows o'er me roll,
Tho' persecution be my lot
Thou art my portion, leave me not. [Refrain]

3 God is my portion, saith my soul;
Tho' pride may scorn let this console;
No pow'r of earth no beauty rare
Can with this wealth of heav'n compare. [Refrain]

4 God is my portion, saith my soul;
When I am sick He makes me whole;
When friends forsake, His love abides;
What could a mortal ask besides? [Refrain]
