Lyics

When, O dear Jesus, when shall I 

Behold thee all serene?

Blest in perpetual Sabbath day,

Without a veil between?



Assist me while I wander here,

Amidst a world of cares;

Incline my heart to pray with love,

And then accept my prayers.



Thy Spirit, O my Father, give,

To be my guide and friend,

To light my ways to ceaseless joys,

To Sabbaths without end.
