LORD, REMOVE THE VEIL AWAY

1.  Lord, remove the veil away, - Let us see Thyself today: - Thou who camest from on high, - For our sins to bleed and die, - Help us now to cast aside - All that would our hearts divide; - With the Father and the Son, - Let Thy living Church be one.

2.  Oh, from earthly cares set free, - Let us find our rest in Thee; - May our toils and conflicts cease - In the calm of Sabbath peace; - That Thy people here below - Something of the bliss may know, - Something of the rest and love, - In Thy Sabbath Church above.

3.  Give our souls the spotless dress - Of Thy perfect righteousness; - So at length each welcome guest - Then shall enter to the feast, - Take the trump and raise the song, - All Thy ransomed ones among; - Earthly cares and sorrows o’er, - Joys to last forevermore.
