Jesus Himself Drew Near

Jesus Himself Drew Near

-Ada Habershon

Jesus Himself drew near,
And joined them as they walked,
And soon their hearts began to burn,
As of Himself He talked:

Draw near, O Lord, draw near, O Lord.

Jesus Himself drew near,
They were no longer sad;
When He was walking at their side,
How could they but be glad?

Jesus Himself drew near,
And all their doubts were solved;
He showed them why Christ came to die,
And what that death involved.

Jesus Himself drew near,
And at the journey’s end
They could not let Him leave them thus,
The Stranger was their Friend.
