The Evergreen ‎#102b

102b. God Is Near Thee

1 God is near thee,
Therefore cheer thee,
Sad soul;
He'll defend thee
When around thee
Billows roll,
When around thee
Billows roll.

2 Calm thy sadness,
Look in gladness
On high:
Faint and weary,
Pilgrim, cheer thee,
Help is nigh,
Pilgrim, cheer thee,
Help is nigh.

3 Mark the sea-bird,
Wildly wheeling
Through the skies;
God defends him,
God attends him
When he cries,
God attends him
When he cries.

4 God is near thee,
Therefore cheer thee,
Sad soul;
He'll defend thee,
When around thee
Billows roll,
When around thee
Billows roll.
