My foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, draw still nearer and shield my soul from sin! 3 O let me hear you 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; and speak to make me listen, O Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servants shall be too. O guide me, call me, draw me, uphold me to the end, when you in glory take me, my Savior and my Friend. Scripture: John 12:26 Used With Tune: NYLAND
