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 breat of Thine;

Then go, rejoicing, on our way,

Renew'd with strength divine.
