Scripture
Psalm 42:5
Verse 1
O God, unseen, yet ever near,
Reveal Thy presence now
While we in love that hath no fear,
Before Thy glory bow.
Verse 2
Here may Thy faithful people know
The blessings of Thy love,
The streams that thro' the desert flow,
The manna from above.
Verse 3
We come, obedient to Thy Word
To feast on heav'nly food,
Our meat, the body of our Lord,
Our drink, His precious blood.
Verse 4
Thus may we all Thy words obey,
For we, O God, are Thine,
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed by strength divine.

A hymn expressing the comfort of God's presence despite the invisibility of the divine.
