35. Drawing Near to God

From every fear and doubt, O Lord,
In mercy set us free,
While in the confidence of prayer
Our hearts draw near to Thee!

In all our trials, struggles, joys,
Teach us Thy love to see,
Which by the discipline of life
Would draw us unto Thee.

Our lives, devoted to Thy will,
Our sacrifice shall be,
And then will death, whene’er it come,
But draw us nearer Thee.
