Under His Shadow

Sit down beneath His shadow,
And rest with great delight ;
The faith that now beholds Him
Is pledge of future sight.
Our Master's love remember,
Exceeding great and free ;
Lift up thy heart in gladness,
For He remembers thee.

Bring every weary burden,
Thy sin, thy fear, thy grief;
He calls the heavy laden,
And gives them kind relief.
His righteousness' all glorious
Thy festal robe shall be ;
And love that passeth knowledge
His banner over thee.

A little while, though parted,
Remember, wait, and love,
Until He comes in glory,
Until we meet above :
Till in the Father's kingdom
The heavenly feast is spread,
And we behold His beauty,
Whose blood for us was shed !
