a thirsty land whose springs are dry.
2 Yet through this rough and thorny maze
I follow hard on thee, my God;
thy hand unseen upholds my ways;
I safely tread where thou hast trod.
3 Thee in the watches of the night
when I remember on my bed,
thy presence makes the darkness light;
thy guardian wings are round my head.
4 Better than life itself, thy love,
dearer than all beside to me,
for whom have I in heaven above,
or what on earth, compared with thee?
5 Praise with my heart, my mind, my voice,
for all thy mercy I will give;
my soul shall still in God rejoice;
my tongue shall bless thee while I live. Scripture: Psalm 63:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: WAINWRIGHT

In sweet communion, Lord, with you
Hymnal: The Book of Praise #44 (1997) Topics: Metrical Psalms Lyrics: 1 In sweet communion, Lord, with you
I constantly abide;
my hand you hold within your own
to keep me near your side.
2 Your counsel through my earthly way
shall guide me and control,
and then to glory afterward
you will receive my soul.
3 Whom have I, Lord, in heaven but you,
to whom my thoughts aspire?
And, having you, what more on earth
is there I can desire?
4 Though flesh and heart should faint and fail,
the Lord will ever be
the strength and portion of my heart,
my God eternally.
5 To live apart from God is death;
'tis good God's face to seek.
You are my refuge, living God;
your praise I long to speak. Scripture: Psalm 73 Languages: English Tune Title: BEDFORDSHIRE MAY DAY CAROL
In sweet communion, Lord, with you
