"My Presence shall go with thee. and I will give thee rest" (Ex. 33:14).

"Jesus, . .. having loved His own who were in the world,
loved them to the end " (John 13:1).

" Behold I am with you all the days, until the completion of the
age" (Matt. 28:20).

With burning heart our song of praise begins,
Jesus, its theme, the Lamb of God, once slain,
Who drank the awful cup of shame and pain,
And in His blood has washed us from our sins;
Praise Him who did it-soon returning-
Who shall, we know, with joy of morning,
Present us to Himself without a stain.

O dawning day of full and perfect joy,
When in the presence of our Lord we'll stand,
Arrayed by Him, a holy, happy band,
With golden harps for praise without alloy!
Praise Him, who unto us has given
Thus with Himself to dwell in Heaven
Amid the glories of that Fairer Land.

Sing in the night, the night so nearly o'er,
Here, where His Name is to the children dear,
Here, where His Word makes all the pathway clear,
The path He trod Himself long, long before;
Well may we sing His praise with gladness
Amid the darkness and the sadness,
For unto us the Lord shall soon appear.

The wilderness will soon be left behind,
With all the sorrows of the needful place;
But all the way is shining with His grace,
Wherein we learn that He is good and kind;
The Lord behind, the Lord before us,
His glorious Presence watching o'er us,
While thus we learn His heart and seek His face.
