Nearer, Still Nearer, Close To Thy Heart,
Draw Me, My Saviour, So 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 Offering 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 All Its Struggles And Trials Are Past;
Then Through Eternity, Ever I’ll Be
Nearer, My Saviour, Still Nearer To Thee.
