Songs of the Kingdom ‎#109

109. Close to Jesus all the Way

1 Tho’ the night be dark, and no light appears
To guide me with its cheering ray,
Yet my heart is never filled with fears,
If I’m close to Jesus all the way.

Refrain:
Close to Jesus all the way,
Thro’ the darkness and the light;
Close to Jesus all the way,
Never fearing then the night.

2 Tho’ my tears may flow and my heart be sad,
My lips may tremble as I pray,
Yet I know that sunshine soon will come,
If I’m close to Jesus all the way. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ the road is rough and I fain would rest,
Yet I journey on from day to day,
For I know there’s gladness waiting me,
If I’m close to Jesus all the way. [Refrain]
