The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear; my foes are ever near me, around me, and within; but, Jesus, draw thou nearer and shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear thee speaking in accents clear and still, above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will! O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, thou Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, thou hast promised to all who follow thee that where thou art in glory, there shall thy servant be; and, Jesus, I have promised to serve thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, my Master and my Friend!

Hymn 6

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 145 hymnals Scripture: John 14:3 First Line: Jesus is gone above the skies Lyrics: Jesus is gone above the skies, Where our weak senses reach him not; And carnal objects court our eyes, To thrust our Savior from our thought. He knows what wand'ring hearts we have, Apt to forget his lovely face; And, to refresh our minds, he gave These kind memorials of his grace. The Lord of life this table spread With his own flesh and dying blood; We on the rich provision feed, And taste the wine, and bless the God. Let sinful sweets be all forgot, And earth grow less in our esteem Christ and his love fill every thought, And faith and hope be fixed on him. While he is absent from our sight, 'Tis to prepare our souls a place, That we may dwell in heav'nly light, And live for ever near his face. [Our eyes look upwards to the hills Whence our returning Lord shall come; We wait thy chariot's awful wheels, To fetch our longing spirits home.]
