He Is Near

When the light has ceased to shine,
And the darkness is around me,
I shall know His hand in mine
And his lovin’ care surround me;
And my heaven, my heaven can be here;
Just to know that He is near.
When my heart is most afraid, And I cannot see the way,
Every promise He has made,
I shall whisper as I pray;
And my heaven, my heaven will be here; Just to know that He is near!
