Author: Maltbie D. Babcock, 1858-1901 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4504 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. No distant Lord have I,
Loving afar to be;
Made flesh for me, He cannot rest
Until He rests in me.
2. Brother in joy and pain,
Bone of my bone was He;
More intimate and closer still—
He dwells Himself in me.
3. I need not journey far
This dearest Friend to see;
Companionship is always mine;
He makes His home with me. Languages: English Tune Title: ADVENT (Goss)
No Distant Lord Have I
