His anger may be delayed to come, but quickly comes His love,
He doesn't want to punish us nor does His fury last.
3
As high as God l}as formed the skies
From this world that's so cruel,
So has He also given love to all the faithful souls;
And so as far away as we see the east is from the west,
All my transgressions have been placed so far away from me.
4
God remembers how He formed us, remembering we are dust,
The days of man are as the grass, which withers by the night;
But He from age to age will give His endless love to us,
To those who keep His covenant, remembering His laws.

59. BLESSINGS AND COMMUNION
BENDIC/ON, COMUNION
Acts·2-_-i;2·"COMMUNIO"N1 Ps··n :5JOY
Blessings and communion are the loveliest divine song,
All of those who have been cleansed,
Through God's Lamb dwelling on Mount Zion.
CHORUS
My cup's overflowing contemplating all my Brethren,
I'm satisfied seeing all of those washed in the Lord's blood;
Oh, how joyful, oh, it is my contentment,
This is what I feel in the Lord's church.
2
Prayer and fellowship 'tis the joy of all the righteous,
'Tis the anthem of all saints, all the redeemed, all God has saved.
3
Salvation, communion, in the church of the living God,
He's dispersed His Holy Spirit
Unto the souls with His sweet love.
4
After this fellowship, eternal life and redemption,
We'll be dwelling in mansions;
We will sing praises and honor Christ.
