Communion with God and Christ.
1 Our heavenly Father calls,
And Christ invites us near;
With both my friendship shall be sweet,
And my communion dear.
2 God pities all my griefs;
He pardons every day;
Almighty to protect my soul,
And wise to guide my way.
3 Jesus, my living Head,
I bless thy faithful care;
My Advocate before the throne,
And my Forerunner there.
4 Here fix my roving heart;
Here wait my warmest love,
Till the communion be complete,
In nobler scenes above.
