In Closer Union

By Worthie Harris Holden

METHOUGHT if Christ could lay his hand In benediction on my head, I then might better understand Whate'er to me he said.

I longed to haste o'er land and sea, Through many a dreary, desert place, If at the end I could but be Where I might view his face.

But here in closer union sweet, Since Jesus now abides within, His Spirit with my soul may meet And banish every sin.

In glad communion with my King,— A constant benediction blest,— My rapturous heart is tuned to sing The praises of my Guest.

Abide with me through all the night, To teach me of thy wondrous grace, Till in thy glorious land of light I see thee face to face.
