’Tis but a veil that hangs be­tween
Watch and pray! when Sa­tan tempts thee,
In the still air the mu­sic lies un­heard;
’Tis but a veil that hangs be­tween
With us He vouch­safes to dwell,
Supports him in the gloo­my hour;
Withhold Thy light and love and pow­er.
And the pow­ers of Heav’n de­fend you,
Oh Thou, whom nei­ther time nor space
Save her from pride and from lux­ury;
Sweet and joy­ful it will be,
But here the veil is rent in two;
But stand un­shak­en as Thy love!

By the toil­ing serv­ant’s side;
Come to this fount which flows for all,
With si­lence, or with psalm.

Thy pre­sence may we feel;
And hides from view the saint­ed forms,
Christ is ev­er near to shield thee;
To make the mu­sic and the beau­ty, needs
And hides from view the saint­ed forms,
All our help and good, we own,
Or whence pro­ceeds that cheer­ful air?
Awoke the psalm­ist’s trem­bling lyre,

Nor faith in bold­est flight can trace,
Right be her might and the truth make her free.
Jesus face to face shall see.
Our sins, in Thy pure light des­cried,
Now let it pass the years be­tween,
