He wants not friends
that hath Thy love,
And may converse
and walk with Thee;
And with Thy saints
here and above,
With whom forever I must be.
In the communion of the saints
Is wisdom, safety and delight;
And, when my heart
declines and faints,
It’s raised by
their heat and light.
As for my friends,
they are not lost;
The several vessels of Thy fleet,
Though parted now,
by tempests tossed,
Shall safely in the haven meet.
Still we are centered
all in Thee,
Members, though distant,
of one head;
In the same family we be,
By the same faith
and Spirit led.
Before Thy throne
we daily meet
As joint petitioners to Thee;
In spirit we each other greet,
And shall again
each other see.
The heav’nly hosts,
world without end,
Shall be my company above;
And Thou, my best
and surest Friend,
Who shall divide me
from Thy love?
