"God setteth the solitary in families… Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive: Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.… Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits" (Psalm 68:6,18,19). "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers" (1 Corinthians 12:13,27,28).
The solitary
need not roam;
God sets them in
His families.
In Christ they
find their happy home
With captives
that He also frees.
How many are the
gifts He gives!
His benefits are
wonderful
Because
forevermore He lives
To save and
satisfy our soul!
Now we are baptized
by His Spirit
Into His body by
His grace.
His Word is
sweet to those who hear it
As we together
see His face.
How great the benefits
You gave,
And great their
cost was, Lord, to You!
You gave Your
life that You might save
And place us in
Your body too.
