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.
