54.  The Glory of His Presence

I have walked alone with Jesus in a fellowship Divine, Nevermore can earth allure me, I am his and he is mine.

I have seen him, I have known him, for he deigns to walk with me; And the glory of his presence will be mine eternally, O the glory of his presence, O the beauty of his face.  I am his and his forever, he has won me by his grace.

2.

On the mountain I have seen him, Christ my comforter and friend; And the glory of that vision will be with me to the end.

I have seen him, I have known him, for he deigns to walk with me; And the glory of his presence will be mine eternally, O the glory of his presence, O the beauty of his face.  I am his and his forever, he has won me by his grace.

3.

In my failure, sin and sorrow, broken-hearted crushed and torn, I have felt his presence near me, he has all my burdens borne,

I have seen him, I have known him, for he deigns to walk with me; And the glory of his presence will be mine eternally, O the glory of his presence, O the beauty of his face.  I am his and his forever, he has won me by his grace.

4.

In the darkness, in the shadow, with the Saviour I have trod, Sweet indeed have been the lessons since I’ve walked alone with God.

I have seen him, I have known him, for he deigns to walk with me; And the glory of his presence will be mine eternally, O the glory of his presence, O the beauty of his face.  I am his and his forever, he has won me by his grace.
