Ninth Sunday after Trinity

Lord, my portion Thou shalt be.
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
Lord, my heritage Thou art!
Who, but Thou, should have my heart?
Thou most divinely fair!
Whom shall I with Thee compare?
Jesus Christ! Who changeth never,
Yesterday, to-day, or ever!

Thou my hope art, Thou my guide,
All my need in Thee supplied;
Thou my food, and fadeless dress,
Journeying through the wilderness;
Thou the Rock, whence ever burst
Waters for me when I thirst;
Jesus Christ! Who changeth never.
Yesterday, to-day, or ever!

Thou my cloud by day, my light
Through the darkness of the night.
Thou my pathway through the sea.
Lest its waves overwhelm me.
Thou my triumph on the shore
When life buffetings are o'er;
Jesus Christ! Who changeth never.
Yesterday, to-day, or ever!

In Thee are my peace and joy,
For Thee is my best employ,
From Thee all my strength descends,
To Thee all my duty tends.
By Thee I from bondage free.
Through Thee shall accepted be;
Jesus Christ! Who changeth never.
Yesterday, to-day, or ever!
