Where no evil thing cometh To despoil what is fair, Where the angels are watching, Is my name written there? [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Lord, I care not for riches]

All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is loss, Death and darkness and the tomb, Pain us only "Till He come!" Used With Tune: ELTHAM
