LyicsWe are too far from thee, our Savior,
Too far from thee.
Before our eyes,
Dark mists arise,
And vail the glories from the skies;
We are too far from thee.
We are too far from thee, our Savior,
Too far from thee.
Fierce pains oppress,
Dark cares distress,
Made darker by our loneliness;
We are too far from thee.
We are too far from thee, our Savior,
Too far from thee.
Dark waters roll
Above the soul;
Striving to reach the heavenly goal,
We are too far from thee.
We are too far from thee, our Savior,
Too far from thee.
Alone afraid,
Our path is laid
In darkness; send thy heavenly aid;
We are too far from thee.
We are too far from thee, our Savior,
Too far from thee.
E'en if thy rod
Bring us to God,
In meekness be the pathway trod,
If it but lead to God.
Draw us more close to thee, our Savior,
More close to thee.
Let come what will
Of good or ill,
'T is one to us, well knowing still
Thou drawest us to thee.
