1 Tho' these eyes see not the Master,
Still b y faith I know Him near;
These dull ears may listen vainly,
But my soul His voice can hear.

Refrain:
How my trusting heart rejoices
In the consciousness so dear,
That wherever life may lead me
One I love is always near!
How my trusting heart rejoices
In the consciousness so dear,
That to bless, to save and keep me,
He is near!

2 I can nevermore be lonely,
Tho' all other friends depart,
Ever present, still He lingers,
Cheering, comforting my heart. [Refrain]

3 Life to me is sweet and blessed
As with Him I journey on,
Tow'rd the hour of Heaven's day-break,
When the shadows will be gone [Refrain]

4 He is with me, always with me,
Loving Saviour, precious Friend!
He will never, never leave me,
Will be with me to the end! [Refrain]

Author: Thomas O. Chisholm

Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much Scripture as possible and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes.
