Tune: | [Just a little closer] |
Composer: | Wm. J. Kirkpatrick |
1 Just a little closer;
Saviour, hear my cry;
Thou hast sought and found me;
Thy salvation brought nigh.
Refrain:
Just a little closer;
I would ever be;
Just a little closer;
Blessed Saviour, to Thee.
2 When the world would woo me
With alluring charms;
Just a little closer
In Thy sheltering arms. [Refrain]
3 Closer, when the tempter
Whispers to my heart;
Then, O King triumphant,
Bid the tempter depart. [Refrain]
4 Resting in Thy bosom,
Happy in Thy care;
Teach me how to serve Thee,
Give me power in prayer. [Refrain]
5 Just a little closer
Earthly joys decline;
Give me joys unfading,
Everlasting, divine. [Refrain]
6 When that fairer morning
Shall arise for me,
Then, in all His beauty,
My Redeemer I’ll see. [Refrain]
