Get Close to Jesus

Composer: Alice Woodcock, 1922

Whene’er your tri­als are too hard for you

Burdens are hea­vy

and your friends seem few

Go to your Sav­ior

kneel to Him in pray­er

He’ll hear you

for He’s al­ways there.

Get close to Je­sus

He’s your best friend;

Get close to Je­sus

He’ll com­fort send;

In times of tr­ial

in times of fear

Get close to Je­sus

He’s al­ways near.

He is the friend ab­ove all oth­ers rare;

Even the spar­row is with­in His care;

Much more to you will He His love be­stow

If to Him you will on­ly go.

So for to­mor­row and its needs ne’er fear;

Leave all to Him

have faith

be of good cheer;

Then go and help some oth­ers’ cross to bear

And tell them of His won­drous care.
