January 5

Ye that by night stand in the House of the Lord.

WITHIN THE HOLIEST.

H IS priest am I, before Him day and night, Within His holy place;

And death, and life, and all things dark and bright, I spread before His Face.

Rejoicing with His joy, yet ever still, For silence is my song;

My work to bend beneath His blessed will, All day, and all night long—

For ever holding with Him converse sweet, Yet speechless, for my gladness is complete.
