WORSHIP, by                    
First Line: I entered a vast cathedral
Last Line: In the glory of the dawn!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


I entered a vast cathedral,
With a flood of golden light
Falling soft on ancient pavement
From the altar candles bright.

The soft deep voice of the organ
And the incense in the air
Seemed to speak peace to the spirit,
And to woo the heart to prayer.

I knelt and talked to the Master
In the quiet of the place--
And above the altar's glory
I beheld the Saviour's face!

But I also find His presence
As I walk the busy street
'Mid the hurry and the bustle
And the rush of many feet.

I talk with Him in my workshop,
As with weary hands I toil;
I worship Him in my garden,
While tilling the fertile soil.

I roam with Christ in the forest,
I stroll with Him on the plain,
I journey with God through sadness,
I cry to the Lord in pain.

I find the Master at twilight
When the long, hard day is gone,
And at morn I meet the Saviour,
In the glory of the dawn!
