O the Presence of the Savior

Representative Text

1 Oh, the presence of the Saviour,
How it fills my heart with love,
Keeps my feet upon the highway,
And my eyes on heav’n above.

Refrain:
Oh, the presence of the Saviour,
May it e’er abide within;
Blessed presence of the Saviour,
Blessed, blessed walk with Him.

2 Oh, the presence of the Saviour,
How it keeps me pure within,
And my heart is ever longing
For a closer walk with Him. [Refrain]

3 Oh, the presence of the Saviour,
‘Tis so sweet to have Him near;
Oh, the power of His presence
Drives away my doubt and fear. [Refrain]

4 Oh, the presence of the Saviour,
May it ever guide my way;
For I know with Jesus near me
I can never go astray. [Refrain]
