A BENEDICTION.
Thou art so near to me, I feel Thy hand
Shrouding Thy glory, Lord;
And in the deep cleft of the riven Rock
I see—the Living Word!
Shrouding Thy glory, Lord;
And in the deep cleft of the riven Rock
I see—the Living Word!
Thy mercy and Thy goodness are in Him
Whom I so dimly trace;
God of Glory, in Thy Holy Son
I now behold Thy face!
Whom I so dimly trace;
God of Glory, in Thy Holy Son
I now behold Thy face!
A BENEDICTION.
"Ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong."—Zech. viii. 13.
God bless thee to-day with joy that never
Shall fade, beloved, away:
Thine be the portion that endureth ever,
Through life's long endless day.
Undying fruit shall spring from wintry hours,
According to His word;
The rod shall blossom with celestial flowers,
Laid up before the Lord.

Thine be the portion that endureth ever,
Through life's long endless day.
Undying fruit shall spring from wintry hours,
According to His word;
The rod shall blossom with celestial flowers,
Laid up before the Lord.
Renew thy strength, and tread with true endeavor
The path thy Master trod:
Safe! for His seal proclaims thee His for ever,
Anointed with His blood.
