Amidst us our Beloved stands,
|
|---|
|
| 1. | Amidst us our Beloved stands, |
| | And bids us view His piercd hands; |
| | Points to the wounded feet and side, |
| | Blest emblems of the Crucified. |
| 2. | What food luxurious loads the board |
| | When, at His table, sits the Lord! |
| | The wine how rich, the bread how sweet, |
| | When Jesus deigns the guests to meet! |
| 3. | If now, with eyes defiled and dim, |
| | We see the signs, but see not Him; |
| | Oh, may His love the scales displace, |
| | And bid us see Him face to face! |
| 4. | Thou glorious Bridegroom of our hearts, |
| | Thy present smile Thy grace imparts! |
| | Oh, lift the veil, if veil there be, |
| | Let every saint Thy glory see! |
