O unseen presence by my side, companion on the way; bring comfort, you my welcome guide, when doubt my hopes betray. O Christ, your presence in the word of prophets, law, and psalm, reveals the Gospel I have heard and gives the needed calm. My Lord, your presence stay with me and at my table dine; the bread the means by which I see, your fellowship, a sign. O risen Christ, give me the faith your presence to discern; then I will note with every breath how warmly my heart burns.
