HYMN 2. God a Portion.
Psal. 73.26. God the Portion of his People.
1 A Portion Lord thou didst design On thine for to bestow; Nought didst thou think was good enough For them of things below.
2 Nor things in Heaven, which excel, And therefore dost impart, Thy self as the Portion alone Of all upright in Heart.
2 Nor things in Heaven, which excell, And therefore dost impart, Thy self as the Portion alone Of all upright in Heart.
3 Who then is able to conceive How rich thy Children are? For they have all, since they have thee, And each an equal share.
