Come near me, O my Sav?ior; Thy ten?der?ness re?veal; O, let me know the sym?pa?thy Which Thou for me dost feel; I need Thee ev?ery mo?ment; Thine ab?sence brings dis?may; But when the tempt?er hurls his darts, ’Twere death with Thee away. Come near me, my Re?deem?er, And ne?ver leave my side; My bark, when tossed on trou?ble’s sea, The storm can?not out?ride Unless the word of pow?er Arrest the surg?ing wave; No voice but Thine its rage can quell, No arm but Thine can save. Come near me, bless?èd Je?sus, I need Thee in my joy; No less than when the dir?est ills My hap?pi?ness de?stroy; For when the sun shines o’er me And flow?ers strew the way, Without Thy wise and guid?ing hand More ea?si?ly I stray. Be near me, migh?ty Sav?ior, When comes the lat?est strife; For Thou hast thro’ death’s sha?dows passed, And oped the gates of life; And when among the ran?somed I stand with crown and palm, To Thee, di?vine, un?fail?ing Friend, I’ll raise eter?nal psalm.?
