HYMN V. COMMUNION with GOD.
I
Our heavenly Father calls,
And Christ invites us near;
With both our friendship shall be sweet,
And our communion dear.
II
God pities all our griefs,
He pardons every day;
Almighty to protect my soul,
And wise to guide my way.
III
How large his bounties are!
What various stores of good
Diffus'd thro' my Redeemer's hand,
And purchas'd with his blood.
IV
Jesus, my living head,
I bless thy faithful care;
Mine advocate before the throne,
And my forerunner there.
V
Here fix, my roving heart,
Here wait my warmest love,
Till the communion be complete
In nobler scenes above.
