Hymn
Anywhere With Jesus
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go,
Anywhere He leads me in this world below.
Anywhere without him, dearest joys would fade,
Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.
Anywhere! anywhere!
Fear I cannot know.
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.
Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone,
Other friends may fail me, He is still my own.
Tho' his hand may lead me over drearest ways,
Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise.
Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep,
When the darkling shadows round about me creep;
Knowing I shall waken never more to roam,
Anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home.
