Nearness to God

“It is good for me to draw near to God.”
— Ps. 73:28

Oh! wondrous, infinite, divine!
Keep near, my soul, to that blest place,
Where all those heavenly glories shine
Which suit the brightness of His face!

“The nearer we are to the Lord Jesus, the better we understand that he who touches His brethren "touches the apple of his eye."”
