Under His Shadow.
‘I sat down under His shadow with great delight.’—
Cant. ii. 3.
Sit down beneath His shadow,
And rest with great delight;
The faith that now beholds Him
Is pledge of future sight.
And rest with great delight;
The faith that now beholds Him
Is pledge of future sight.
Our Master's love remember,
Exceeding great and free;
Lift up thy heart in gladness,
For He remembers thee.
Exceeding great and free;
Lift up thy heart in gladness,
For He remembers thee.
Bring every weary burden,
Thy sin, thy fear, thy grief;
He calls the heavy laden,
And gives them kind relief.
Thy sin, thy fear, thy grief;
He calls the heavy laden,
And gives them kind relief.
His righteousness ‘all glorious’
Thy festal robe shall be;
And love that passeth knowledge
His banner over thee.
Thy festal robe shall be;
And love that passeth knowledge
His banner over thee.
A little while, though parted,
Remember, wait, and love,
Until He comes in glory,
Until we meet above;
Remember, wait, and love,
Until He comes in glory,
Until we meet above;

Till in the Father's kingdom
The heavenly feast is spread,
And we behold His beauty,
Whose blood for us was shed!
The heavenly feast is spread,
And we behold His beauty,
Whose blood for us was shed!
