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 alter 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 heavenly food:
Our meat the Body of the Lord,
Our drink his precious Blood.

Thus may we all thy word obey,
For we, Oh God are thine;
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed with strength divine.
