VERSE 1
Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Saviour, 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."
VERSE 2
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,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart
VERSE 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,
Give me but Jesus my Lord crucified.
VERSE 4
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till all its struggles and trials are past;
Then thro' eternity, ever I'll be
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.
