Companionship with Christ

“I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that keep Thy precepts” (Psalm 119:63).  “He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me… Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:5-8). 

In Christ we have companionship

With all who keep our Lord’s commands,

Secure in His eternal grip,

For none can pluck us from His hands.

We take delight in Christ our Savior,

Adoring Him with godly fear,

Rejoicing in His gracious favor

As He assures us He is near.   

Our confidence is in Christ alone,

Who promised He will never leave

And never will forsake His own:

What comfort thereby we receive!

There is no strategy employed

That takes our Savior by surprise,

And every plan shall be destroyed

Against the Lord which men devise.

There is no counsel or endeavor

Against the Lord that can prevail.

For yesterday, today, forever,

He is the same; He shall not fail. 

This sweet companionship with Christ  

Is only possible by grace;  

Our Lord was therefore sacrificed

To thus secure for us this place. 

Your presence, Lord, is wonderful

Which You have graciously assured!

What comfort You afford our soul

So clearly promised in Your Word! 

O send us, Lord, to now proclaim: 

Companionship with You begins

When sinners call upon Your name,

That You may wash away their sins!
