EN 1806 The Spirit Binds Us to Our Lord
Ps.133.1
Versi Version 1
1
The Spirit binds us to our Lord
But once in Him we find
Communion sweet, as oil outpoured,
With kindred hearts and minds.
2
Beneath His yoke, our easy tie,
We count as common store
Our gifts and graces—rich supply
For him who needs them more.
3
Such aid is giv’n to those who call
On Christ’s name anywhere:
Their outward need is borne by all,
As much as each can bear.
4
But outward aid alone won’t fill
The storehouse of the saints,
For inward aid is better still
To Christian supplicants.
5
We, by our Faith, are bound to meet
In worship of the Lord,
And flood our Father’s mercy seat
With prayers in one accord.
6
May God’s own Spirit keep us ?til
We meet at heaven’s door
And gifts we shared below then will
Be changed for heav’nly store.
