Author: Joseph Swain Hymnal: Christ in Song #336 (1908) First Line: O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all!
2 His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer sweet,
Is heard thro' the shadows of death;
The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet,
The air is perfum'd with his breath.
3 His lips, as a fountain of righteousness flow,
To water the gardens of grace;
From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know,
And bask in the smiles of his face.
4 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for his word;
He speaks, and eternity, fill'd with his voice,
Reechoes the praise of the Lord. Topics: Christ Christ Precious; Christ Praise to Christ; Christ Christ Precious; Christ Praise to Christ Languages: English Tune Title: BELOVED
