Ever Near

by John H. Kurzenknabe

Ever near, ever near,
Jesus blessed Saviour;
Why should mortals doubt or fear,
Blessed with Thy favor.

Ever near, ever near,
Think not 'tis tomorrow;
Jesus wipes the present tear,
From the eye of sorrow.

Ever near, ever near,
In the day of sadness;
Through the darkness shall appear,
Christ! the star of gladness.

Refrain

Ever near, Ever near;
Those who love their saviour dear,
Find Him ever, ever near.
