Representative Text

1 Close by the side of Jesus,
Filled with his boundless love,
Cheered by the streams descending
pure from his throne above.

Refrain:
Close by the side of Jesus,
Drawn by his power divine;
Oh, how my heart rejoices!
Oh, what a song is mine!

2 Close by the side of Jesus,
Led by his hand so dear,
Heir to a full salvation,—
What has my soul to fear? [Refrain]

3 Close by the side of Jesus,
Child of his grace so free;
Learning, and still repeating,
All he has done for me. [Refrain]

4 Close by the side of Jesus,
Light is the cross I bear;
He is a firm foundation;
Safe will I rest me there. [Refrain]
