Nearer, still nearer

- 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.
- Repeat the last line of each verse
