The Cyber Hymnal ‎#8693

8693. Look, O My Soul, Within The Veil

1 Look, O my soul, within the veil,
View that unnumbered throng,
Whose joys can never, never fail,
While Jesus is their song.

2 O happy souls! for ever freed
From sin and every snare,
They reign with their exalted Head,
And palms of victory bear.

3 They glory in their conquering God,
And see Him as He is:
Their robes are spotless through His blood,
Their happiness like His.

4 But I am in a world of woe,
Acquainted still with grief;
Affliction I’m ordained to know,
When shall I get relief?

5 They once were sore distressed, like me,
Till Heav’n subdued their fear;
They sailed o’er tribulation’s sea
Before they landed there.

6 Then may I live by faith on God,
On every promise giv’n;
And still confide in Jesu’s blood,
And wait resigned for Heav’n.

7 Jesus will surely bring me there
In His appointed time;
On Him, my soul, cast all thy care,
Rely alone on Him.
