Close By My Side
Author: F. W. Faber Appears in 55 hymnals First Line: Dear Angel, ever at my side Lyrics: 1 Dear Angel, ever at my side,
How loving Thou must be
To leave Thy home in heav’n to guide
A little child like me!
Thy beautiful and shining face
I see not, tho’ so near;
The sweetness of Thy soft, low voice
Too deaf am I to hear.
Refrain:
Close by my side, close by my side,
Dear Angel, walk today;
Close by Thy side, close by Thy side I’d follow all the way.
2 I cannot feel Thee touch my hand
With pressure light and mild,
To cheek me as my mother doth
Her little wayward child;
But I can feel Thee in my tho’ts
Striving with sin for me,
And when my heart loves God I know
The sweetness comes from Thee. [Refrain]
3 And when beside my couch I kneel!
At morn and night for prayer,
There’s something speaks within my heart
And tells me Thou art there.
Yes, when I pray Thou prayest too,
Thy prayer is all for me;
But when I sleep Thou sleepest not,
But watchest lovingly [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Dear Angel, ever at my side]
