By the Fireside.
And evermore beside him on his way The unseen Christ shall move,That he may lean upon his arm and say, “ Dost thou, dear Lord, approve?”
Beside him at the marriage feast shall be, To make the scene more fair;Beside him in the dark Gethsemane Of pain and midnight prayer.
O holy trust! O endless sense of rest! Like the beloved JohnTo lay his head upon the Saviour's breast, And thus to journey on!
