E100. Out of My Sin and Its Bondage

1 Out of my sin and its bondage,
Thro’ Thy rich grace I am free,
But I am longing, dear Saviour,
Still to be closer to Thee.

Chorus:
Closer to Thee, Closer to Thee,
Till in its beauty Thy face I shall see:
This is my plea,
Ever to be
Closer, dear Saviour, to Thee.

2 Walking each day in Thy presence,
Knowing Thou carest for me,
This giveth peace ev’ry moment
Still I am longing to be—- [Chorus]

3 Nothing can meet my deep longing,
Only to know that in me
Thou art each moment abiding,
And I’m abiding in Thee. [Chorus]
