Portion Possession

('We have a gospel to proclaim')

Psalm 73 v.23 - 28

********

I, O Lord, am always with you

You do guide me, and me do renew

By my right hand you hold me sure

I rejoice in you evermore

 

You shall me with your counsel guide

It from me you shall never hide

And afterwards shall me receive

To glory, blessings, I believe

 

Whom have I in heaven but you?

The only God and only true

And there is none on earth beside

That I desire, in you I confide

 

My flesh and heart fail do they

But God my strength, to Him I pray

The strength of my heart, portion here

I worship Him with godly fear

 

My portion for ever is He

Those far from Him, they shall not be

Among the saved, but perish they

But you me protect every day

 

It is good for me to draw near

To God, and find His presence here

For I have put my in God my Lord

My trust, declared His works assured
