The valley of the shadow reached,
Alone thou needst not be;
Rejoice, O soul! so near the goal,
For Christ is still with thee;
Thou soon, with all the angels,
Shalt alleluias sing,
And with one voice fore'er rejoice
In Him, thy Lord and King.

"COME YE APART"
Come ye apart! in love I plead,
E'en for a little while;
Forget those fleeting, empty joys
That oft your souls beguile.
E'en for a little while;
Forget those fleeting, empty joys
That oft your souls beguile.
Come ye apart! for pardon pray.
Whilst listening ear I bend;
If ye but struggle for the right
Mine arm shall e'er defend.
Whilst listening ear I bend;
If ye but struggle for the right
Mine arm shall e'er defend.
Come ye apart! My praise to sing
Within my courts to dwell;
As solemn sweet the anthem rolls
'Twill joy of heaven foretell.
Within my courts to dwell;
As solemn sweet the anthem rolls
'Twill joy of heaven foretell.
Come ye apart! in stillness rest;
In silence lowly kneel;
'Tis ever to the listening heart
That I, myself, reveal.
In silence lowly kneel;
'Tis ever to the listening heart
That I, myself, reveal.
