Hymnal: TPH2018 #73C (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In sweet communion, Lord, with thee
I constantly abide;
my hand thou holdest in thine own
to keep me near thy side.
2 Thy counsel through my earthly way
shall guide me and control,
and then to glory afterward
thou wilt receive my soul.
3 Whom have I, Lord, in heav'n but thee,
to whom my thoughts aspire?
And, having thee, on earth is naught
that I can yet desire.
4 Though flesh and heart should faint and fail,
the Lord will ever be
the strength and portion of my heart,
my God eternally.
5 To live apart from God is death,
'tis good his face to seek;
my refuge is the living God,
his praise I long to speak. Topics: Communion with Christ and God; God As Refuge; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: Psalm 73:23-28 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
