HYMN 87.

O God, unseen, yet ever near,
Thy presence may we feel;
And thus, inspir'd 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 words obey,
For we, O God, are Thine;
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renew'd with strength divine.
