“Within the Veil

” for only as thou gazest

Upon the matchless beauty of His face

Canst thou become a living revelation

Of His great heart of love

His untold grace.

“Within the Veil

” His fragrance poured upon thee

Without the Veil

that fragrance shed abroad;

“Within the Veil

” His hand shall tune the music

Which sounds on earth the praises of Thy Lord.

“Within the Veil

” thy spirit deeply anchored

Thou walkest calm above a world of strife;

“Within the Veil

” thy soul with Him united

Shall live on earth His resurrection life.
