They swell the song of heaven's bright throng, With glory, hallelujah. 6 JESUS EVER NEAR. C M. Double. (New.) 105 8 1. Dear Saviour, ever at my side, How loving thou must be To leave thy home in heaven to guard A little child like me. Thy beau-ti-ful and shining face I see not, tho' so near; The sweetness of thy soft low voice I am too deaf to hear. 143 2. I can not feel thee touch my hand With pressure light and mild, To check me, as my mother did When I was but a child. But I have felt thee in my thoughts Fighting with sin for me; And when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from thee. 3. And when, dear Saviour! I kneel down Thy prayer is all for me; But when I sleep, thou sleepest not But watchest patiently. |
