LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, by                    
First Line: Wide fields of corn along the valleys spread
Last Line: For he is all around us here today.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Wide fields of corn along the valleys spread;
The rain and dews mature the swelling vine;
I see the Lord in multiplying bread;
I see him turning water into wine;
I see him working all the works divine
He wrought when Salemward his steps were led;
The selfsame miracles around him shine;
He feeds the famished; he revives the dead;
He pours the flood of light on darkened eyes;
He chases tears, diseases, fiends away;
His throne is raised upon these orient skies;
His footstool is the pave whereon we pray.
Ah, tell me not of Christ in Paradise,
For he is all around us here today.
