Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 138 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

"Within the veil:" Be this, beloved 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
