Safe within the Vail

About this hymn

As printed As printed: hymn number «1348» (large, left), title «SAFE WITHIN THE VAIL.» centred (condensed capitals with larger initials); under it one line with the epigraph «"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."—Heb. 4 : 9.» (old-style figures) and «J. M. EVANS.» at the right (music), capitals and small capitals; no author of the words, no meter, no reference line, no copyright line. The three stanzas are interlinear, three lines between the staves of PDF 559 systems 1–2, numbered «1.»–«3.» in system 1, each printed line carrying two verse lines. «CHORUS.» stands over the treble after the heavy bar of system 2; the chorus words are printed once, «Rocks and storms I'll fear no more,» on the second lyric line of PDF 559 system 2 and the rest under the concluding system at the top of PDF 560 («SAFE WITHIN THE VAIL.—Concluded.»). Syllable hyphens are joined («a-head», «wav-ing», «fade-less», «On-ward», «bless-ed», «temp-ta-tion», «liv-ing», «sal-vation», «e-ternal»). The print sets a thin space before «;» and «!» («head !"», «rounding ;», «hands ;», «past ;», «shore ;»); it is closed up here; quotation marks and apostrophes are written straight. Damaged letters read: «bands» (stanza 2), «Rocks and storms» (chorus); a speck after «Rock» in stanza 3 is not an apostrophe — see `uncertainties.md`.
