O God, Unseen Yet Ever Near

O God

un­seen yet ev­er near

Thy pre­sence may we feel;

And thus in­spired with ho­ly fear

Before Thine al­tar kneel.

Here may Thy faith­ful people know

The bless­ings of Thy love

The streams that through the de­sert flow

The man­na from above.

We come

obe­di­ent to Thy Word

To feast on heav’n­ly food;

Our meat the bo­dy of the Lord

Our drink His pre­cious blood.

Thus may we all Thy Word ob­ey

For we

O God

are Thine;

And go re­joic­ing on our way

Renewed with strength di­vine.
