When God is near, with light, my path is glowing The cup of life with gladness overflows
And in the garden of my heart is growing The flower of love more fragrant than the sweetest rose
When God is near, so near I hear him speak to me My every need is boundless grace supplies
When God is near, my heart is filled with ecstasy And all the worlds are paradise when God is near
And all the worlds are paradise when God is near
When God is near, the tempter cannot lure me The peace of God surpassing sweet is mine
Joyed here with Christ, His mercies reassure me And someday I shall dwell with Him in realms divine
When God is near, so near I hear him speak to me My every need is boundless grace supplies
When God is near, my heart is filled with ecstasy And all the worlds are paradise when God is near
And all the worlds are paradise when God is near
When God is near, the tempter cannot lure me The peace of God surpassing sweet is mine
