Hymn Context Compare
Floating thro’ the gloom to me;
And bless­ings will come
While the an­gels sang His glo­ry
I see not, though so near;
Shines in Thy coun­te­nance,
He touch­es my heart ev­ery day
Jesus, the ve­ry thought of Thee
Bursts a glo­ri­ous tide of song;
Bursts a glo­ri­ous tide of song;
The seal of or­di­na­tion,
Comes a glo­ri­ous burst of heav’n­ly song;
Gladly we wel­come the ris­en King,
Love that is pur­est and best,
And their beau­ty fad­eth nev­er;
Gushing, spark­ling, nev­er still,
Comes a glo­ri­ous burst of heav’n­ly song;
O man­na from abo­ve:
’Tis the voice of my mo­ther,
’Tis the voice of my mo­ther,
That we may to oth­ers show

sweet­ness

Bringing words of hope and love,
Oh, tell the sweet sec­ret to­day,
O the won­der of the sto­ry,
I am too deaf to hear.
The beau­ty of Thy glance.
A love I can nev­er re­pay.
But sweet­er far Thy face to see,
Roll the migh­ty wave along.
Roll the migh­ty wave along.
Of per­fect con­se­cra­tion.
And the sing­ers are an an­gel throng.
This is the word that the flow­ers say,
All for His serv­ice, so blest.
In our home be­yond the river;
Overflowing, ov­er­flowi­ng ev­er,
And the sing­ers are an an­gel throng.
Of Your di­vine com­plete­ness
Yes, my mother is pray­ing for me.
Yes, my mother is pray­ing for me.
Thou art wait­ing to be­stow.
