Close, Close To Thy Cross, O Christ!
My Guilty Soul Would Fly;
Thy Flowing Blood Can Wash Me White
From Sins Of Crimson Dye!
Close To Thy Cross, Close To Thy Cross,
Jesus, My Lord, I Cling;
Shelter Me There, Shelter Me There,
‘Neath Thy Protecting Wing.
Close, Close To Thy Cross, O Christ!
My Burdened Soul Would Go;
There’s Sweet Relief In Thy Warm Love
For Every Grief I Know!
Close, Close To Thy Cross, O Christ!
My Tempted Soul Would Stand;
No Foe Can Harm, No Work Overtask,
While Under Thy Kind Hand!
Close, Close To Thy Cross, O Christ!
My Weary Soul Would Rest;
No Wrath, No Fear, No Shadows There
Disturb My Quiet Breast!
