So close to Thee, dear God, that I may hear
Thy softest whisper sounding full and clear
To point my way;
And all the day
I shall rejoice to know Thee ever near.
So close to Thee, dear God, that I may feel
Thy tender hand upon me as I kneel
In praise to Thee;
And may it be
My joy to know Thy Word my work doth seal.
So close to Thee, dear God, that I may know
Thy loving presence everywhere I go;
With Thee as guide
Can ill betide
If I but trust, and strive that trust to show?
