"Union With Christ"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in long meter)

"Union With Christ"

1. Blest union! form'd by love divine,
Christ says I'm His, and He is mine;
His choice He never will revoke,
Nor let His cov'nant bond be broke.

2. Here's love! I'll tell it all around;
A God - a worm in union found!
Jesus, the monarch of the skies,
Owns me as precious in His eyes.

3. Yes, I'm united to the King,
And of His glories I must sing;
He takes my guilt, gives me His grace,
That I may live in His embrace.

4. Yes, Jesus and my soul are one,
I've life and bliss in Him alone;
Because He lives, I live to prove,
His sov'reign everlasting love.
