167. Jesus Near

1 Jesus is near, so near, so near,
His presence doth my Spirit cheer;
His gracious voice makes me rejoice
To find Him near, so near.

2 Jesus is near, so near, so near,
He speaks and scatters ev’ry fear;
I see His face, I taste His grace,
For He is near, so near.

3 Jesus is near, so near, so near,
His love supreme dries ev’ry tear;
Each burden bears, for me He cares,
And holds me near, so near.

4 Jesus is near, so near, so near,
It doth not yet to us appear
What we shall be, but we shall see
When Jesus comes so near.
