Representative Text

1 Nearer, Lord, our souls would be,
Closer drawn by faith to Thee;
Faith that from eternal springs
Life and health and comfort brings.

Refrain:
Grant our prayers, direct our way,
Draw us upward day by day
To Thyself, that we may be
One in heart and one in Thee.

2 Nearer, Lord, our souls would be,
Still by faith beholding Thee,
Where Thou dwellest, veiled in light,
Circled round with glory bright. [Refrain]

3 Nearer, Lord, our souls would be,
More and more conformed to Thee;
Nearer, Lord, the holy place
Where the saints behold Thy face. [Refrain]

4 O to feel! to know, to see!
Heavenly rest, our home, and Thee,
Where our harps attuned to praise
Nobler songs of joy shall raise. [Refrain]
