Help me walk from day to day,

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,

Till I see my Savior’s face,
  Leave His presence never.

Till I see my Savior’s face,

Today the 5th of December 2023, I came across this hymnal. The tone is familiar yet the lyrics seems I've never met it in my Christian soujourn.

I am melted and encouraged in my spirit.

Seems the earth went void again after the fall of man in Eden.

I must not miss heaven!
