Wondrous Love ‎#121

121. Stay Near By

1 Precious Savior, all in all,
From the depths to thee I cry;
When my heart is overwhelmed,
Blessed Savior, stay near by.

Refrain:
Stay near by to help in time of need,
Stay near by O Lord to comfort me,
Stay near by, stay near by,
Blessed Savior, stay near by.

2 While the waves of sorrow roll,
Billows swell like mountains high;
O’er this broken contrite heart,
Blessed Savior, stay near by. [Refrain]

3 When I feel my inbred sin,
To thy tender self I fly;
Foes I have without, within,
Blessed Savior, stay near by. [Refrain]

4 With thy sympathy and love,
With thy tender pitying eye;
Stay and thy sweet comfort give,
Blessed Savior, stay near by. [Refrain]
