The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh Lord I come with heart here open,
For in my hour of darkness I may be.
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Oh Lord be Thou near to me.
And the holy voices sing "Hallelu!"
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
Though In this burden of my making
Yet in the shadows still a light I see
Maker whose love is not forsaking
Oh Lord be Thou near to me
And the holy voices sing "Hallelu!"
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
And the holy voices "Hallelu!"
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.
Oh Lord
Be Thou near
To me.
