One spirit with the Lord

1 "One spirit with the Lord;"
Oh blessed, wondrous word!
What heavenly light, what pow'r divine,
Doth that sweet word afford!

2 "One spirit with the Lord;"
Jesus, the glorified,
Esteems the Church for which He bled,
His body and His bride.

3 And though by storms assailed
And though by trials pressed,
Himself our Life, He bears us up,
Right onward to the rest.

4 There we shall drink the stream
Of endless bliss above;
There we shall know, without a cloud,
His full unbounded love.
