Lyics

We are too far from thee, our Savior,
Too far from thee.
Before our eyes, dark mists arise,
And veil 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.


Draw us more close to thee, our Savior,
More close to thee.
Let come what will of good or ill,
'Tis one to us, well knowing still
Thou drawest us to thee.
