Close By My Side
Author: Mrs. A. L. Davison Hymnal: Gems and Jewels #117 (1890) First Line: Close by my side, O tender love Refrain First Line: Close by my side, close by my side Lyrics: 1 Close by my side, O tender love
That leads me to that home above;
That keeps beside me all the way,
That leads me toward the perfect day.
Chorus:
Close by my side, close by my side,
He waits my feeble steps to guide;
O Saviour still with me abide
Close by my side, close by my side.
2 Thro’ sun and storm, thro’ joy and grief,
To sorrow bringing sweet relief;
And guarding with His tender hand,
When dangers thickly ‘round me stand. [Chorus]
3 Forever faithful, loving true,
O Christ, my love, my life are due
Alone to Thee, most holy Friend,
Be with and keep me to the end. [Chorus]
