1 Dear is Thy Presence with Thy friends,
To faith’s glad eyes reveal’d;
Their Sun when sorrow’s night descends,
In battle’s hour their shield.
2 But, ah! when heart and spirit faint,
‘Tis life to clasp the word
Which tells of Thee with ev’ry saint
For ever one, dear Lord.
3 Companions may converse and go;
But what shall now divide
Members and Head, above, below,
The Bridegroom and the Bride?
