1 Let Him come near to thee,
Speak to thy soul,
All that is dear to thee
‘Neath His control;
No one so good as He,
No one so kind,
Faithful and true is He,
Peace in Him find!

Refrain:
Let Him come near to thee,
Giving thee peace,
Joys will appear to thee,
Worries will cease.

2 Let Him come near to thee,
Right at thy side.
He will speak cheer to thee,
Hope will abide;
Tell Him from day to day
All of thy need,
Sunny or dark the way,
Ask Him to lead. [Refrain]

3 Let Him come near to thee,
Prove Him thy Friend,
Light will appear to thee,
Strength He will lend;
Sorrow or joy thy share,
He is the same,
Lay at the cross thy care,
Praising His name. [Refrain]
