Portion Of Peace

Tune: Thornbury

('Thy hand, O God, has guided')

Psalm 73 v.23-28

********

I am continual with you

O holy God and true

You have upheld me, did take

My hand, me not forsake

You shall guide me with counsel

I shall prosper, fare well

Then receive me to glory

Forever with you be

 

Whom have I in heaven, Lord

But you, and too your word

And there is none upon earth

Can compare to your worth

None that I desire but you

By faith I do you view

My flesh and heart may fail me

But you e'er constant be

 

For God is strength of my heart

My rock, shall not depart

he my portion for ever

Shall desert me never

For look, they that are afar

From you, our guiding star

Shall perish, the unfaithful

Yet faithful be made whole

 

It is good for me to draw

Near to God, know Him sure

I have put my trust here in

The Lord, God, and from sin

He shall save me, that I may

Declare all His works, ways

Abiding in Him, He in me

Bear fruit for His glory
