Hushed be my murmurings

Tune: [Hushed be my murmurings, let cares depart]
Published in 21 hymnals

Audio files: MIDI

Representative Text

1 Hush'd be my murmurings, let cares depart,
Jesus is near me to cheer my heart;
He's near to help me whilst life's hours remain
He speaks to cheer me in toil and in pain.
He speaks to cheer me in toil and in pain.

Chorus:
Gentle angels near me glide,
Hopes of glory 'round me 'bide.
And there lingers by my side,
A Saviour, a Saviour, a Saviour ever near,
A Saviour, a Saviour, a Saviour ever near.

2 Why should I languish--why should I fear?
In sorrow and anguish He's ever near:
Sleeping or waking--in pleasure or pain,
Roaming or resting, He'll near me remain. [Chorus]

3 Scenes that will vanish, smile on me now,
Joys of a moment play round my brow,
But soon in heaven He'll meet me again,
There'll end my sorrow, and there'll end my pain. [Chorus]
