Union with Jesus

By Carrie K. Batcher

By Carrie K. Batcher
Fulness of peace, yes, and fulness of blessing, Fulness of cleansing, no trace of alloy; Filled with all fulness, when Christ I'm possessing, O, 'tis an infilling, outflowing joy.
Union with Jesus, O, who can describe it? One with the Master—to work or to wait— Out in the fields that are white unto harvest, Or sitting in quietude low at His feet.
None need be timid, or helpless, or hungry, Lay hold of His strength. Lo! He bids us be strong; First comes the emptying, then the infilling, When hearts are all ready, He ne'er tarries long.
O, the joy of joys! O, the glory and gladness, That thrills every heart, where He comes to abide; There are trials and tears, but no heart-crushing sadness, For the Lover has come, to be one with His bride.
No grieving at losses, no murmuring at crosses, But listening and longing to go at His will; Knowing well a life yielded will ever be shielded, And purpose made strong to abide in Him still.
