Nearer still, nearer still!
There would I in peace abide,
Nearer still, nearer still!
Refrain:
Draw me closer, Lord, to Thee,
Let me now Thy beauty see;
Help me, Lord to know Thy will,
Draw me closer, closer still.

Louder still, louder still!
Praise to glorify my king,
Louder still, louder still. [Refrain]
3 May Thy love within me shine
Brighter still, brighter still!
As a beacon light of Thine,
Brighter still, brighter still! [Refrain]
4 Lord, I would be in Thy sight
Purer still, purer still!
Make and keep me by Thy might,
Purer still, purer still! [Refrain]

Dearer still, dearer still!
Daily grows my walk with Thee
Dearer still, dearer still. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ORDU Text Sources: Great Revival Hymns No. 2 by Homer A.Rodeheaver and Bentley D. Ackley (Chicago: Rodeheaver Company, 1913)
