NEARER, STILL NEARER
1. Nearer, still
nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior,
so precious Thou art;
Fold me, oh, fold
me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in
that "Haven of Rest."
Shelter me safe in
that "Haven of Rest."
2. Nearer, still
nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an
off'ring to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now
contrite heart,
Grant me the
cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the
cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3. 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,
Give me but Jesus,
my Lord crucified.
4. Nearer, still
nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory
my anchor is cast;
Thro' endless ages,
ever to be
Nearer, my Savior,
still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior,
still nearer to Thee.
