Thou whose hand thus far
hath led me,
Where-so-e’er my path may be;
Lord, I pray that Thou wilt ever
Draw and keep me near to Thee.
Near to Thee,
O Lord, to Thee—
Draw me ever near to Thee.
When the way is dark
and cheerless,
When no ray of light I see,
May Thine arms of love and mercy
Draw me ever near to Thee.
Near to Thee,
O Lord, to Thee—
Draw me ever near to Thee.
Thou in whom my soul is trusting,
Hope of life and joy to me;
While on earth a pilgrim stranger,
Draw me ever near to Thee.
Near to Thee,
O Lord, to Thee—
Draw me ever near to Thee.
