Anywhere With Jesus

Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]

1Anywhere 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.

RefrainAnywhere! anywhere! Fear I cannot know;
Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.

2Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone; Other friends may fail me, He is still my own;
Though His hand may lead me over dreary ways, Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise.

3Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep, When the gloomy shadows round about me creep;
Knowing I shall waken never more to roam; Anywhere with Jesus will be home sweet home.
