Let Me Come Closer to Thee, Jesus
"And Abraham drew closer unto the Lord." - Gen. 18:23
VERSE 1
Let me come closer to Thee, Jesus,
Oh, closer day by day!
Let me lean harder on Thee, Jesus
Yea, harder all the way.
VERSE 2
Let me show forth Thy beauty, Jesus,
Like sunshine on the hills,
Oh let my lips pour forth Thy sweetness
In joyous, sparkling rills!
VERSE 3
Yes, like a fountain precious Jesus,
Make me new and let me be;
Keep me and use me daily, Jesus,
For Thee, and only Thee.
VERSE 4
In all my heart and will, O Jesus,
Be altogether, King!
Make me a loyal subject, Jesus
To Thee in everything.
VERSE 5
Thirsting and hungering for Thee, Jesus
With blessed hunger here,
Longing for home on Zion's mountain
No thirst, on hunger there.
