Ever Near by Ellen M. Hastings

Ever near my Saviour's side
Would I linger night and day;
He alone shall be my guide
Thro' life's rough and thorny way.

Ever near, ever near,
Dearest Saviour, ever near,
Thou art now the Living Way,
Near Thee ever let me stay.

Tho' the night be dark and drear,
And no ray of light I see,
I'll press on if He is near
To uphold and comfort me.

Ever near, ever near,
Dearest Saviour, ever near,
Thou art now the Living Way,
Near Thee ever let me stay.

When the cheerful light of day
Raises hope and makes me strong,
Still I would beside Him stay,
Lift to Him my thankful song.

Ever near, ever near,
Dearest Saviour, ever near,
Thou art now the Living Way,
Near Thee ever let me stay.

Shades of death I will not fear,
Jesus lights the way,
And I know He will be near
Till I reach the perfect day.

Ever near, ever near,
Dearest Saviour, ever near,
Thou art now the Living Way,
Near Thee ever let me stay.

Ever near, ever near,
Dearest Saviour, ever near,
Thou art now the Living Way,
Near Thee ever let me stay.
