God Is So Near

ROWENA A. MILLS

When clouds of sorrow dim the morning sun,When there is no reward, no victory won,No earthly comfort for the falling tear,How sweet the consciousness that God is near!

Melody

FLORENCE L. MAGERS

A song is singing on my lips,Of faith, of hope, of praise—A song of faith that overcomes,That bringeth victory;Of hope that eagerly awaitsTruth's promised liberty;Of praise that peals adoringlyFor good's supremacy—A song of constant gratitudeFor Love-illumined days!
