1  "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.
