1
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.
2
Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Nought as an offering to Jesus my King; Only my sinful, now contrite heart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3
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.
4
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.
