Lord of my Lot

"The Lord is the Portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord who hath given me counsel" (Psalm 16:5-7). "Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.... the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:20,21).

The Lord is my Portion: how pleasant and good
Are all of the lines that have fallen to me!
And He guards the boundaries I never could,
Preserving my heritage eternally.

How sweet is the Portion that I have in Him!
How wise is His counsel for my latter end!
How full is the cup that runs over the brim
With blessings for others to whom He will send!
