You guide me with your counsel,
and afterwards you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion for ever.27 Those who are far from you will perish;
Psalm 73, verse 24 to 28
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joy and lasting treasure
None but Zions children know
John Newton, from “Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God”
“Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Psalm 23, verse 6
