Author: William M. Hays Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When we are thinking of Heaven and home Refrain First Line: O what a friend He is to me Lyrics: 1 When we are thinking of Heaven and home, He is near, And when we are walking the valley of gloom, He is near us then. Refrain: O what a friend He is to me, Waiting to hear the faintest call; Ever unchanging and ever to be Close to us all. 2 When the poor soul by temptation is tried, He is near, And when it is plunged ’neath the oncoming tide, He is near us then. [Refrain] 3 When in the soul doubts and fears do arise, He is near, And if in our sorrow the soul to Him cries, He is near us then. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When we are thinking of Heaven and home] Text Sources: Song Crown by Austin Taylor et al. (Austin, TX: Foundation Publishing House, 1912)
