Do You Know Him?

By Nettie Hall

By Nettie Hall
Do you know the Lord of Glory? Do you know Him as your God? Do you feel His gentle presence As you walk the path He trod?
Weary of the paltry pleasures Of this world of wo and strife, Do you feel your soul aspiring To a higher, better life?
Do you feel a deep heart longing For the One you love so well, To come near and ever nearer, And within your heart to dwell?
Sometimes, when in human weakness You have grieved that dearest One, And the clouds grow dense about you, And the dove of peace is gone,
Then in penitential sorrow Do you seek that lovely face, There to find sweet peace and pardon In the riches of His grace?
Do you know the Saviour loves you— Loves you still, His erring child— Draws you closer to His bosom, Shields you from the tempest wild?
Do you pray in childlike fervor, While you closer cling to Him, "Make me more like Thee," my Saviour, Keep me pure and free from sin"?
Do you feel the sweet influence From the Father's throne above, That will make your life more noble, As you walk in perfect love?
Do you grow each day more perfect, While He lives and dwells within, Till your life reflects His beauty, While you sweetly walk with Him?
Is your love for Christ your Saviour Growing stronger day by day? Could a world of sin and folly Tempt you from your Lord to stray?
O my brother, do you know Him, That dear friend forever nigh? Would you, could you, live without Him, Or without Him dare to die?
