Hymnal 2:188

【United To The Lord】

1. All that I encounter throughout my life

Are united to You and Your will;

You and I belong to each other,

Facing everything together.

For Your will though I suffer hardship,

Persecutions, slanders and sneers,

Yet my heart can rejoice in all these,

For Your grace abounds through my journey.

Your presence, the warmth in God's family

Moves me deeply and gives me joy and rest;

Your fervent love compels my heart,

Floods and flames to pass I'm steadfast!

2. We' ve fought many fierce battles, yet I find

Your wondrous salvation every time;

By You, I lift my head and boast,

By faith press on toward the goal!

Lord, You do appreciate my love for You,

On this suff'ring yet glorious journey;

Then one day, You'll come to receive me

Into Your endless joy and glory!

Your presence, the warmth in God's family

Moves me deeply and gives me joy and rest;

Your fervent love compels my heart,

Put on the armour, I march on!

May all that I decide throughout my life,

Be united to You and Your will;

You and I deeply love each other,

Walking this life journey together.

【Song of Solomon‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬】

My beloved has gone down to his garden to the beds of spices, to graze in the gardens and to gather lilies.
