This composition invokes the presence of our

Almighty Father, seeking for guidance and protection
Text:
Come near my Lord,
Show Thy face that I may live and not die
Pour out Thy saving grace O fountain of Life
Pour out Thy living water, Save me from all wicked ways
Embrace me with Your loving arms,
Have mercy, O Lord. Depart Thou not away from me
Fill me with Thy Holy presence
