The Lord my shepherd rules my life
In sweet communion, Lord, with you
Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In sweet communion, Lord, with you
I constantly abide;
my hand you hold within your own
to keep me near your side.
2 Your counsel through my earthly way
shall guide me and control,
and then to glory afterward
you will receive my soul.
3 Whom have I, Lord, in heaven but you,
to whom my thoughts aspire?
And, having you, what more on earth
is there I can 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 God's face to seek.
You are my refuge, living God;
your praise I long to speak. Topics: God Refuge and Strength; God Presence of; God Guide; Metrical Psalms; Trust Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: BEDFORDSHIRE MAY DAY CAROL Text Sources: Paraphrase, Psalter 1912, alt.
In sweet communion, Lord, with you
