Anywhere with Jesus

Words: Jessie H. BrownMusic: D. B. Towner

1Anywhere with Jesus I can safe-ly go, Anywhere He leads me in this world below; Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade, Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.

RefrainAnywhere! anywhere! Fear I can-not know; Anywhere with Jesus I can safe-ly go.

2Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone, Other friends may fail me, He is still my own; Tho' His hand may lead me o-ver drear-y ways, Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise.

3Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep, When the dark-'ning shad-ows round about me creep; Knowing I shall wak-en nev-er more to roam, Anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home.
