Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Saviour—to precious Thou art!
Fold me, oh, fold me close to Thy breast.
|: Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest.”
:|
Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an offr’ing to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart.
|: Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
:|
Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine!
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,
|: Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified.
:|
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last.
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages ever to be
|: Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee!
