Taken Aside by Jesus

TAKEN aside by Jesus To feel the touch of his hand, To rest for a while in the shadow Of the Rock in a weary land.
Taken aside by Jesus That henceforth my voice may be Made clear to tell of the love divine And the Rock of Eternity.
Taken aside by Jesus To hear as I never heard The sacred ring of his loving voice, The sound of the Living Word.
Taken aside by Jesus, With a sorrowful heart to-day, But I heard him nigh in the desert place, And I heard my Beloved say:
“It is I, and I know thy pain; It is I, and I know thy loss; It is I, thou shalt know the eternal gain; It is I that endured the cross.”
Taken aside by Jesus, Shall I shirk the desert place, Where I hear as I never heard before, And see him face to face?
Taken aside by Jesus, Till faith seems almost sight, And I dwell so near to my Father's house, Almost within its light.
