Author: John Swertner, 1746-1813; Christian Gregor, 1723-1801 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #329 (1969) Lyrics: 1 My portion is the Lord;
I seek His favor
And in His Name and Word
Confide for ever;
The world can never give
So rich a treasure
As in His love to live
And do His pleasure.
2 He gives me for my tears
His oil of gladness;
Delivers, heals, and cheers,
Dispels my sadness;
He makes sin’s power to cease,
His grace restrains me,
And with His word of peace
He still sustains me.
3 Therefore I’ll humbly cleave
To my Creator,
Who, that my soul might live,
Assumed my nature,
Redeemed me by His blood
And bitter passion;
Thanks to the Lamb of God
For my salvation. Topics: The Life in Christ Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: GREGOR
