I long for fellowship in spirit,

That mingled with the saints I'll be,

Long to be saved from independence

And to be built with saints in Thee.

I long for fellowship in spirit,

That opened shall my spirit be,

Long to be rescued from seclusion,

And with the saints to worship Thee.

I long for fellowship in spirit,

Long that my spirit forth may come,

Long to be saved from self-deception,

And every hindrance overcome.

I long for fellowship in spirit,

With saints in spirit thus to pray,

Long for deliv'rance from pretension,

Long for true fellowship today.

I long for fellowship in spirit,

Long thus to know authority;

Long for true fellowship in service,

Coordinated thus to be.

O Lord, fulfill our heart's deep longing,

Saints for such fellowship inspire,

That we may realize Thy building

And soon fulfill Thy heart's desire.
