Bundled with the Blest


“Thy soul… shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God” (1 Samuel 25:29).  “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD” (Psalm 122:1).  “Walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous” (Proverbs 2:20).  “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body” (1 Corinthians 12:13).  

This bundle of life with the Lord
Is where we forever are blest
With souls who in one sweet accord
Have found in the Savior their rest. 

How great are the blessings bestowed
That flow from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who bore our iniquity’s load
When He was for us sacrificed!

How rightly our souls now rejoice  
When hearing the sweet invitation
To worship the Lord with one voice
With those who have found His salvation! 

Together with Christ we are bound,
Yet not by our feeble endeavor!
There’s no boasting here that is found
Except in our Savior forever!

As pilgrims together we walk
And speak of our Lord who draws near,
With mutual joy as we talk
Of Jesus our Savior so dear!

By one Spirit we have been born;
In one body baptized with favor,
Now covered with robes we have worn
Reflecting our unblemished Savior. 

O Lord, we give thanks for Your love
By which we are bundled with You
And blest by Your grace from above
With mercies each day that are new.
