Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Hymns of the Kingdom #100 (1905) First Line: Come near to thy father and tell Him thy need Refrain First Line: Close on the world the door of thy heart Lyrics: 1 Come near to thy Father and tell Him thy need,
When thou hast shut thy door;
His love and His mercy, His promises plead,
When thou hast shut thy door.
Refrain:
Close on the world the door of thy heart,
Turn from its cares, its pleasures apart;
Thy Father will bless thee wherever thou art,
When thou hast shut thy door.
2 He “seeth in secret,” He knows all thy grief,
When thou hast shut thy door;
His comforting Spirit will bring thee relief,
When thou hast shut thy door. [Refrain]
3 Tho’ low at the cross falls the penitent tear,
When thou hast shut thy door,
His ready forgiveness will bring thee good cheer,
When thou hast shut thy door. [Refrain]
4 There drinking so freely from heavenly springs,
When thou hast shut thy door,
Renewed, day by day, thou shalt find eagle wings,
When thou hast shut thy door. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Come near to thy father and tell him thy need]
