Nearer, Still Nearer
Yeah, mm
Oh
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"
Oh, shelter me safe in
That "haven of rest"
Oh
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
Oh, give me but Jesus
My Lord crucified
Mm
Oh, nearer
Nearer, still nearer
While life shall last
Till safe in glory
My anchor is cast
(Through endless ages)
Through endless ages
Ever to be
Nearer, still nearer
Still nearer to Thee
Oh, nearer, my Savior
Still nearer, still nearer
Nearer to Thee!
I wanna be closer to you, Lord
Every step I take
I wanna be closer to you, closer to you, Lord
Oh
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"
Oh, shelter me safe in
That "haven of rest"
Oh
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
Oh, give me but Jesus
My Lord crucified
Mm
Oh, nearer
Nearer, still nearer
While life shall last
Till safe in glory
My anchor is cast
(Through endless ages)
Through endless ages
Ever to be
Nearer, still nearer
Still nearer to Thee
Oh, nearer, my Savior
Still nearer, still nearer
Nearer to Thee!
I wanna be closer to you, Lord
Every step I take
I wanna be closer to you, closer to you, Lord
