Friend Ever Near

Hymnal: The Bright Array #19 (1889) First Line: Though the days are dark with trouble Refrain First Line: There's a Friend that's ever near, never fear Lyrics: 1 Tho’ the days are dark with trouble And thy heart is filled with fear, There is One that sees thee ever, And will hold thee near and dear; Cheerful hearts and smiling faces Often make thee happy here; Yet no one was e’er so happy But sometimes the clouds appear. Refrain: There’s a Friend that’s ever near, never fear; He is ever near, never, never fear; There’s a Friend that’s ever near, never fear; He is ever near, never fear. 2 Soon will dawn a brighter morning On a blessed, tranquil shore, Sighs will then give place to singing, Tears to smiles, for evermore; Thou shalt see a world of glory, And eternal joy and bliss; Let not, then, thy soul be moaning O’er the woes and cares of this.
