1 Not as teacher in Judea
In the days of long ago,
But as present guide and helper
I my Jesus truly know.

Refrain:
He is ever present with me,
And his tender touch I feel;
Through the passing years he daily
Doth to me himself reveal.

2 Once he journeyed by the Jordan,
And the people followed there;
But with me he now is walking,
In his fellowship I share. [Refrain]

3 I can hear him gently speaking
Words of love so sweet to me,
Words of hope and consolation,
Naught on earth more real could be. [Refrain]

4 He abideth thro’ the ages
As a Savior great and strong,
The delight of all his people,
Their rejoicing and their song. [Refrain]
