1  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.

 2  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.

 3  I long for fellowship in spirit,

    Long that my spirit forth may come,

    Long to be saved from self-deception,

    And every hindrance overcome.

 4  I long for fellowship in spirit,

    With saints in spirit thus to pray,

    Long for deliv'rance from pretension,

    Long for true fellowship today.

 5  I long for fellowship in spirit,

    Long thus to know authority;

    Long for true fellowship in service,

    Coordinated thus to be.

 6  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.
