THE FAVOR OF CHRIST.

O JESUS! Thy smile to my soul Is like sun to the day, That doth darkness dispel With its gladdening ray! Without it my soul is baptized In the depths of despair; But my sky is serene When thy sweet smile is there!
O Jesus! Thy love to my heart Is the moon to the night, That doth shine through the gloom With its pure, holy light! Without it, in darkness and fear I oft stumble and fall, Till the light of thy love Re-assures me of all!
O Jesus! Thy presence to me Is a heaven below; When I bask in thy beams, Joy of angels I know! But oh! when thy presence withdraws, Deep and dark is my gloom! A shroud covers my soul Like a desolate tomb!
Then rise on thy glorious wings, Sun of Righteousness, rise! Be the life of my soul, And the light of mine eyes! Immanuel reign in my heart, O Immanuel reign! Till the vict'ry is won, And the enemy slain!
