I shall not fear the battle if you are by my side, nor wander from the pathway if you will be my guide. 2 O let me feel you near me; the world is ever near: I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear. My foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, draw still nearer and shield my soul from sin! 3 O let me hear you speaking in accents clear and still, above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; and speak to make me listen, O guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servants shall be too. And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; O give me grace to follow, my master and my friend. Scripture: Joshua 24:15-16 Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

Author: Joseph M. Scriven Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,817 hymnals Topics: Service Music Invitation to Prayer Lyrics: 1. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. 2. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. 3. Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there. Used With Tune: CONVERSE
