"Within the Veil": be this, belov'd, thy portion,

   Within the secret of thy Lord to dwell;

Beholding Him, until thy face His glory,

   Thy life His love, thy lips His praise shall tell.

 2 

"Within the Veil," for only as thou gazest

   Upon the matchless beauty of His face,

Canst thou become a living revelation

   Of His great heart of love, His untold grace.

 3 

"Within the Veil," His fragrance poured upon thee,

   Without the Veil, that fragrance shed abroad;

"Within the Veil," His hand shall tune the music

   Which sounds on earth the praises of Thy Lord.

 4 

"Within the Veil," thy spirit deeply anchored,

   Thou walkest calm above a world of strife;

"Within the Veil," thy soul with Him united,

   Shall live on earth His resurrection life.
