"I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that keep Thy precepts" (Psalm 119:14). "In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death" (Proverbs 14:26,27).
The principles that draw us near,
And give us confidence,
Are love for God and holy fear
Which prompt obedience.
Here we have our hiding place,
Protecting us in strife.
Our common ground is saving grace
In Christ who is our life.
Here we have the fountainhead
That satisfies our thirst,
That bids us be like Christ instead
Of putting ourselves first.
This is my family in Christ,
Companions I hold dear,
Who love our Lord once sacrificed,
And worship Him with fear.
