You seem remote; come close, come near

You seem remote; come close, come near,
God, not afar but close at hand,
when we're alone, afraid to pray,
our God, you take us by the hand.

We cannot see, we do not know,
when You are active in this place,
small hands, the unexpected glance,
bring help, bring healing, bring Your grace.

Verses 3 follows

Tune: WINCHESTER NEW; AFFECTION
Metre: LM
