Lyics

O God, unseen yet ever near!

Reveal thy presence now,

While we, in love that hath no fear,

Before thy glory bow.



Here may obedient spirits find

The blessings of thy love-

The streams that through the desert wind,

The manna from above.



Awhile beside the fount we stay,

And eat this bread of thine,

Then go, rejoicing, on our way,

Renewed with strength divine.
