You Are Near | Dan Schutte | Psalm 139 | Catholic Choir w/Lyrics | Hymn of Comfort

“You Are Near” by Dan Schutte is a beloved Catholic setting of Psalm 139, offering the assurance that God knows our hearts, remains beside us, protects us, and leads us along the path to everlasting life. Often sung during moments of consolation, healing, and remembrance, its gentle melody transforms the psalmist’s words into a deeply personal prayer of trust in God’s constant presence. On this Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Psalm 145 proclaims that the Lord is near to all who call upon Him, while Jesus’ parable of the vineyard workers reveals a generosity far greater than human calculations of fairness. Together, hymn and Scripture reassure us that God sees each person, calls us at every hour, and draws near with mercy that cannot be measured or earned. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir.

You guard me from the foe, And you lead me in ways everlasting. Lord, you have searched my heart, And you know when I sit and when I stand. Your hand is upon me Protecting me from death, Keeping me from harm. O Lord, I know you are near, Standing always at my side. You guard me from the foe, And you lead me in ways everlasting. Where can I run from your love? If I climb to the heavens you are there; If I fly to the sunrise Or sail beyond the sea, Still I'd find you there. O Lord, I know you are near, Standing always at my side. You guard me from the foe, And you lead me in ways everlasting. #YouAreNear #DanSchutte #Psalm139 #CatholicChoir #Sunday7pmChoir #CatholicHymn #GodIsNear #ChristianWorship #LiturgicalMusic #HymnOfComfort Thanks for watching the video You Are Near | Dan Schutte | Psalm 139 | Catholic Choir w/Lyrics | Hymn of Comfort
