This hymn saw me through my needy twenties and even later... I sang it the, with Yahweh, I know... From the Tears of Judaism, Psalm 130. Having learned it from a most enthusiastic elder Jesuit in Belgaum in the novitiate (!!), I taught it with deep joy to my companions in Pune, Fransalians, and later in a parish in Mumbai, St. Joseph, Kurla... It has a universal message of confidence in self and God. Coming again, from the tears of Judaism... Put to music by Rev. Dan Schutte... who is on Facebook!! Lyrics: You Are Near Music and Lyric by Dan Schutte S.J. My God I know You are near Standing always at my side You guard me from the foe And you lead me in ways everlasting Lord you have searched my heart And You know when I sit and when I stand Your hand is upon me Protecting me from death Keeping me from harm My God I know You are near Standing always at my side You guard me from the foe And you lead me in ways everlasting Where can I run from Your love If I climb to the heavens You are there If I fly to the sunrise Or sail beyond the sea Still Id find you there My God I know You are near Standing always at my side You guard me from the foe And you lead me in ways everlasting You know my heart and its ways You who formed me before I was born In secrets of darkness Before I saw the sun In my mother’s womb My God I know You are near Standing always at my side You guard me from the foe And you lead me in ways everlasting
