Reveal Thy presence now
While we in love that hath no fear,
Before Thy glory bow.
2 Here may Thy faithful people know
The blessings of Thy love,
The streams that thro’ the dessert flow,
The manna from above.
3 We come, obedient to Thy Word
To feast on heav’nly food,
Our meat, the body of our Lord,
Our drink, His precious blood.
4 Thus may we all Thy words obey,
For we, O God, are Thine,
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed by strength divine. Used With Tune: MEDITATION
O God, Unseen, Yet Ever Near
