Author: Charles Edward Pollock Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12870 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: ’Tis but a veil that hangs between Lyrics: 1 ’Tis but a veil that hangs between
The unseen world and this,
And hides from view the sainted forms,
The world of perfect bliss.
Refrain:
When the veil is lifted,
In the by and by,
Scenes of wondrous beauty
Will greet the raptured eye;
Forms of cherished loved ones,
Hosts of angels bright,
When the veil is lifted,
Will dawn upon our sight.
2 To calm the servant’s needless fears,
God drew this veil aside;
When all about Elisha, lo!
A mighty host he spied. [Refrain]
3 Departing saints such scenes behold,
As in death’s arms they sink;
May Heaven not be near us now?
E’en nearer than we think? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [’Tis but a veil that hangs between]
