210: "ONE spirit with the Lord;"

210: "ONE spirit with the Lord;"

by Samuel Prideaux Tregelles (1813-1875)

1 "ONE spirit with the Lord;"
Oh, blessed, wondrous word!
What heavenly light, what power divine,
Doth that sweet word afford!

2 "One spirit with the Lord:"
Jesus, the glorified,
Esteems the church for which He bled,
His body and His bride.

3 And though by storms assailed,
And though by trials pressed,
Himself our Life, He bears us up
Right onward to the rest.

4 There we shall drink the stream
Of endless bliss above:
There we shall know, without a cloud,
His full unbounded love.
