1. When, O Dear Jesus, When Shall I Behold thee all serene? Blessed in perpetual Sabbath day, Without a veil between! 2. Assist me, while I wander here Amidst a world of cares; Incline my heart to pray with love, And then accept my prayers. 3. Release my soul from ev'ry chain; No more hell's captive led; And pardon a repenting child, For whom the Savoir bled. 4. Spare me, my God, O spare the soul That gives itself to thee, Take all that I possess below, And give thyself to me. 5. Thy Spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my pain with endless joys A Sabbath without end.
