LORD, I
desire to live as one
Who bears a blood-bought name,
As one who fears
but grieving Thee,
And knows no other shame. As
one by whom Thy walk below
Should never be forgot;
As one who fain would
keep apart
From all thou lovest not. I
want to live as one who knows
Thy fellowship of love;
As one whose eyes
can pierce beyond
The pearl-built gates above.
As one who daily speaks
to Thee,
And hears Thy voice divine
With depth of tenderness declare,
"Beloved! Thou art mine." Charitie
Lees Smith, 1861

20:24 ...I am the LORD your God,
which have separated you from other
people. |
