Author: Thomas C. Clark, b. 1877 Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #71 (1957) Meter: 10.10.10.10.6 First Line: God is not far from any one of us Lyrics: 1 God is not far from any one of us:
The wild flower by the wayside speaks His love;
Each blithesome bird bears tidings from above;
Sunshine and shower His tender mercies prove,
And men know not His voice!
2 God is not far from any one of us:
He speaks to us in every glad sunrise;
His glory floods us from the noonday skies;
The stars declare His love when daylight dies,
And men know not His voice!
3 God is not far from any one of us:
He watches o'er his children day and night;
On every darkened soul He sheds His light;
Each burdened heart He cheers, and lends His might
To all who know His voice.
Amen. Topics: God God the Loving Father Scripture: Psalm 139:7 Tune Title: FERREE
