Lyics

When God is near

To quell the souls' commotion,

And shed the sweet serene of true devotion:

Then clouds of grief will disappear

When God is near.



When God is near-

The heart with sorrow swelling,

Pours out its grief-its tale of anguish telling;

And mercy wipes each trickling tear,

When God is near.
