When the night won't seem to pass
And around my soul your breakers crash
When I am weak and can take no more
It seems my heart will not endure
O Jesus, be nearer
Draw close in my distress
Your presence, your power
Put my heart at rest
O Jesus, be nearer
From the depths I cry to you
Fearing it might not be true
That you hear every desperate plea
Be my help, and be my safety
O Jesus, be nearer
Draw close in my distress
Your presence, your power
Put my heart at rest
O Jesus, be nearer
When you draw near my hope's restored
When you are close I can face the storm
And at your voice, my soul is stilled
And in your presence, I'm fulfilled
O Jesus, be nearer
Draw close in my distress
Your presence, your power
Put my heart at rest
O Jesus, be nearer
Revive my weary soul
Remember your promise
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
