1 God is always near me,
Hearing what I say;
Knowing all my tho'ts and deeds,
All my work and play.

2 God is always near me,
In the darkest night
He can see me just the same
As by mid-day light.

3 God is always near me,
Tho' so young and small.
Not a look, or word, or tho't,
But God knows it all.
