Hymn Title :Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands
     
Amidst us our Beloved stands,
And bids us view His piercéd hands
Points to His wounded feet and side
Blest emblems of the Crucified

What food luxurious loads the board
When at His table sits the Lord
The wine how rich, the bread how sweet
When Jesus deigns the guest to meet

If now, with eyes defiled and dim
We see the signs, but see not Him
O may His love the scales displace
And bid us see Him face to face

Our former transports we recount
When with Him in the holy mount
These cause our souls to thirst anew
His marred by lovely face to view

Thou glorious Bridegroom of our hearts
Thy present smile a heaven imparts
O lift the veil, if veil there be,
Let every saint Thy beauties see
