Companionship with Jesus

lyricist: Mary James, 1879
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

Oh

bless­èd fel­low­ship di­vine!

Oh

joy su­preme­ly sweet!

Companionship with Je­sus here

Makes life with bliss re­plete.

In un­ion with the pur­est One

I find my Heav’n on earth be­gun.

Oh

won­drous bliss

oh

joy sub­lime

I’ve Je­sus with me all the time.

Oh

won­drous bliss

oh

joy sub­lime

I’ve Je­sus with me all the time.

I’m walk­ing close to Je­sus’ side

So close that I can hear

The soft­est whis­pers of His love

In fel­low­ship so dear.

And feel His great al­migh­ty hand

Protects me in this hos­tile land.

I’m lean­ing on His lov­ing breast

Along life’s wea­ry way;

My path

il­lum­ined by His smiles

Grows bright­er day by day.

No foes

no woes my heart can fear

With my al­migh­ty friend so near.

I know His shel­ter­ing wings of love

Are al­ways o’er me spread

And tho’ the storms may fierce­ly rage

All calm and free from dread

My peace­ful spirit ev­er sings

I’ll trust the co­vert of Thy wings.
