Christ My Song - 890
As the bridegroom to his chosen - My God
(Johannes Tauler/Frances Bevan/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
My God.
Psalm 73,25.
1. As the bridegroom to his chosen,
as the king unto his realm,
as the keep unto the castle,
as the pilot to the helm,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me. (PDF - Midi)
2. As the fountain in the garden,
as the candle in the dark,
as the treasure in the coffer,
as the manna in the ark,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me.
3. As the music at the banquet,
as the stamp unto the seal,
as the medicine to the fainting,
as the wine-cup at the meal,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me.
4. As the ruby in the setting,
as the honey in the comb,
as the light within the lantern,
as the father in the home,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me.
5. As the sunshine to the heavens,
as the image to the glass,
as the fruit unto the fig-tree,
as the dew unto the grass,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me,
so, Lord, art thou, my God, to me.
