Antipas
From Verses (1893)
Hidden from the darkness of our mortal sight,
Hidden in the Paradise of lovely light,
Hidden in God’s Presence, worshipped face to face,
Hidden in the sanctuary of Christ’s embrace.
Up, O Wills! to track him home among the bless’d;
Up, O Hearts! to know him in the joy of rest;
Where no darkness more shall hide him from our sight,
Where we shall be love with love, and light with light,
Worshipping our God together face to face,
Wishless in the sanctuary of Christ’s embrace.
