<p>He wants not friends that hath Thy love,<br>
And may converse and walk with Thee;<br>
And with Thy saints here and above,<br>
With whom forever I must be.</p>
<p>In the communion of the saints<br>
Is wisdom, safety and delight;<br>
And, when my heart declines and faints,<br>
It&#8217;s raised by their heat and light.</p>
<p>As for my friends, they are not lost;<br>
The several vessels of Thy fleet,<br>
Though parted now, by tempests tossed,<br>
Shall safely in the haven meet.</p>
<p>Still we are centered all in Thee,<br>
Members, though distant, of one head;<br>
In the same family we be,<br>
By the same faith and Spirit led.</p>
<p>Before Thy throne we daily meet<br>
As joint petitioners to Thee;<br>
In spirit we each other greet,<br>
And shall again each other see.</p>
<p>The heav&#8217;nly hosts, world without end,<br>
Shall be my company above;<br>
And Thou, my best and surest Friend,<br>
Who shall divide me from Thy love?</p>
