399. O God, Unseen Yet Ever Near

1 O God, unseen yet ever near,
reveal thy presence now,
while we, in love that hath no fear,
before thy glory bow.

2 Here may thy faithful people know
the blessings of thy love--
the streams that thro' the desert flow,
the manna from above.

3 Awhile beside the fount we stay
and eat this bread of thine;
then go rejoicing, on our way,
renewed with strength divine.
