161. God Is Always Near

1 Never afar from His children’s call,
Sparrows without Him can never fall,
Lovingly, tenderly watching o’er all,
God is always near.

Chorus:
God is always near,
Naught have I to fear.
On land or sea,
To care for me,
My God is always near!

2 Ever He’s close in the hour of trial,
Ever so near in my self-denial,
Precious to me is life’s journey the while,
God is always near. [Chorus]

3 Tempest and billows can never harm;
Storm-clouds and darkness bring no alarm,
Ever beside me and shielding from harm,
God is always near. [Chorus]
