152 O God, unseen, yet ever near,
1 O God, unseen, yet ever near,
Thy presence may we feel;
And thus, inspired with holy fear,
Before Thine altar kneel.
2 Here may Thy faithful people know
The blessings of Thy love;
The streams that through the desert flow,
The manna from above.
3 We come, obedient to Thy word,
To feast on heavenly food:
Our meat, the body of the Lord;
Our drink, His precious blood.
4 Thus would we all Thy words obey,
For we, O God, are Thine;
And go rejoicing on our way,
Renewed with strength divine.
