Sit down beneath his shadow

Sit down beneath his shadow
and rest with great delight;
the faith that now beholds him
is pledge of future sight.

2. Our Master’s love remember,
so great and free and true;
lift up your heart in gladness,
for he remembers you.

3. Bring every weary burden:
your sin, your fear, your grief;
he calls the heavy-laden
and gives them kind relief.

4. His righteousness all-glorious
my festal robe shall be;
and love surpassing knowledge
his banner over me.

5. Though parted for a moment,
remember, wait and love
until he comes in glory,
until we meet above.

6. Till in the Father’s kingdom
the heavenly feast is spread
and we behold his beauty
whose blood for us was shed.
