As I Near the Tomb

By Noah W. Vincent

NOAH W. VINCENT
HEAR me, my Saviour, as I near the tomb, In me abide; Be thou my light, and keep me through the gloom Close by thy side; Thy presence be my joy, O blessed Lord! My hope, my life, my bountiful reward.
Loved friends far off, but near my cruel foes,— Thou, Christ, art true! Blest Shelter, in life's storms of pains and woes My journey through. To thee my heart, my all, be gladly given; Prepare me here to dwell with thee in heaven.
So much forgiven, I would love thee most,— Thy grace so free; To praise thee more, impart the Holy Ghost, Blest gift for me. Bless me to others; make us all thy friends, Meek, pure, and true, till hope in vision ends.
Sedan, Kan.
