For Those We Love Within the Veil
Author: William Charter Piggott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lyrics: 1 For those we love within the veil,
who once were comrades of our way,
we thank thee, Lord; for they have won
to cloudless day.
2 Free from the fret of mortal years,
and knowing now thy perfect will,
with quickened sense and heightened joy
they serve thee still.
3 O fuller, sweeter is that life,
and larger, ampler is the air:
eye cannot see nor heart conceive
the glory there;
4 nor know to what high purpose thou
dost yet employ their ripened powers,
nor how at Thy behest they touch
this life of ours.
5 And life for them is life indeed,
the splendid goal of earth’s strait race;
and where no shadows intervene
they see thy face.
Used With Tune: RIPPONDEN

Of faithful Abraham:

The sounds of triumph ring;
The triumph of the Victor,
The marriage of the King.

Where Jesus leads them in;
Nor death may cross the threshold,
Nor pain, nor fear, nor sin:
Now shades of night and darkness
Are past and fled away,
Before the radiant brightness
Of everlasting day.
3 No tear-drops stain that threshold,
No weeping eyes are there;
For God hath wiped all tear-drops,
And God hath stilled all care:
The sunlight of the Presence,
The bright Shechinah-flame,
Lights up the bridal banquet
Of God and of the Lamb. Topics: Advent of Christ To Kingdom; Christ Bridegroom Used With Tune: CHENIES

the sorrowful consoled?
To all who speak the truth today,
impart your Spirit, Lord, we pray.

unless they have believed?
How shall the poor be given hope,
the prisoner reprieved?
To those who help the blind to see,
give light and love and clarity.

How shall the world find peace at last
if heralds are not sent?
