73 (2)	Psalm 73 Version 2 (from v 23)	CM
	IN close communion, Lord, with Thee    I constantly abide: My hand Thou holdest in Thine own     To keep me near Thy side.
2	Thy counsel through my earthly way     Shall guide me and control, And then to glory afterward     Thou wilt receive my soul.
3	Whom have I, Lord, in Heaven but Thee,     To Whom my thoughts aspire? And having Thee, on earth is nought     That I can yet desire.
4	Though flesh and heart should faint and fail,     The Lord will ever be The strength and portion of my heart,     My God eternally.
5	To live apart from God is death;     His face is all I seek; My trust is in the living God,     And all His works I’ll speak.
	The Psalter, 1912
