A gracious word of peace comes unto my soul today;
It fills my heart with joy, and drives my care away;
This blessed word assures, though life may be bright or drear,
I'm ne'er alone; I know that God is near.
I am glad that God in love is so near;
It gives me peace and rest
To feel his presence blest;
Yes, I am glad that God in love is so near;
It gives me peace and rest
To feel his presence blest;
Yes, It takes away all fear
And fills my soul with cheer.
We can not see him walk along o'er the dusty way,
But close beside his own, he journeys day by day;
He knows the things that try; he sees ev'ry falling tear;
Oh, sweet indeed to know that God is near.
I am glad that God in love is so near;
It gives me peace and rest
To feel his presence blest;
Yes, I am glad that God in love is so near;
It gives me peace and rest
To feel his presence blest;
Yes, It takes away all fear
And fills my soul with cheer.
When worldly joys allure, and thoughtlessly I forget,
My vows of love to him, he lingers near me yet;
A gentle voice reminds me that I must serve him here,
If I would feel that God is always near.
I am glad that God in love is so near;
It gives me peace and rest
To feel his presence blest;
Yes, I am glad that God in love is so near;
It gives me peace and rest
To feel his presence blest;
Yes, It takes away all fear
And fills my soul with cheer.
