O God, unseen, but ever near,
Our blessed rest art Thou ;
And we, in love that hath no fear,
Take refuge with Thee now.
All soiled with dust our pilgrim feet
And weary with the way,
We seek Thy shelter from the heat
And burden of life's day.
Oh, welcome in the wilderness
The shadow of Thy love ;
The stream that springs our thirst to bless,
The manna from above.
Awhile beside the fount we stay
And eat this bread of Thine,
Then go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed with strength divine.
