Nearer, Still Nearer
Nearer, still nearer, close to thy heart
Draw me, my Savior, so precious thou art
Fold me, O fold me close to thy breast
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest
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
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
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast
Through endless ages, ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee
Draw me, my Savior, so precious thou art
Fold me, O fold me close to thy breast
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest
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
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
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast
Through endless ages, ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee
