Fearless Fellowship

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1). "Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus.... And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night" (John 19:38,39).

Oh, how good the common ground
Where fearless fellowship is found,
Where love for Christ fills heart and mind,
And fear of man is left behind!

Oh, how pleasant is the tie
Of brethren who can testify
That Jesus Christ has drawn them near
And by His love has cast out fear.

Oh, how gracious is our Lord
Who unifies us with the cord,
Of love, of light, and life in Christ
Secured when He was sacrificed.

Oh, how thrilling, most of all,
That our Lord Jesus Christ would call
Each one of His to come and dine,
And each can say that He is mine.
