  HOW close will Jesus come to thee? So close thine eyes can trace The wondrous love He has for thee, Upon His shining face. How close will Jesus come to thee? So close, that thou cans’t feel The sense of safety that He brings O’er all thy being steal. How close will Jesus come to thee? So close that thou canst hear The whisper of His tender voice Ring softly on thine ear. How close will Jesus come to thee? So close that doubts will cease— Thy soul with sorrow weighed, and sin, Find healing—joy—and peace. |
