THE DOOR OF THE SEPULCHRE.
Shalt see that way where now thy Lord doth lead thee;
His darkest dealings trace;
And by those fountains where His love will feed thee,
Behold Him face to face.
His darkest dealings trace;
And by those fountains where His love will feed thee,
Behold Him face to face.
Then bow thy head; and God shall give thee meekness
Bravely to do His will:
So shall arise His glory in thy weakness.
O struggling soul, be still!
Bravely to do His will:
So shall arise His glory in thy weakness.
O struggling soul, be still!
Dark clouds are His pavilion, shining o'er thee;
Thy heart must recognize
The veiled Shekinah moving; on before thee,
Too bright to meet thine eyes.
Thy heart must recognize
The veiled Shekinah moving; on before thee,
Too bright to meet thine eyes.
Behold the wheel that straightly moves, and fleetly
Performs the sovereign word.
Thou know'st His suffering love: then, suffering meetly,
Follow thy loving Lord.
Performs the sovereign word.
Thou know'st His suffering love: then, suffering meetly,
Follow thy loving Lord.
Watch on the tower, and listen by the gateway:
Fear not to wait alone.
Take thou thy spices, and some angel straightway
Shall roll away the stone.
Fear not to wait alone.
Take thou thy spices, and some angel straightway
Shall roll away the stone.
Go to thy brethren: say thy Lord hath risen,
And risen but to save;
Toll of the might that breaks the captive's prison,
Of life beyond the grave.
And risen but to save;
Toll of the might that breaks the captive's prison,
Of life beyond the grave.
