337. Saviour, More than Life

1 Saviour, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging, close to Thee.
Let Thy precious blood applied,
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.

Refrain:
Every day, every hour,
Let me feel Thy cleansing pow’r.
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord to Thee.

2 Thro' this changing world below
Lead me gently, gently as I go.
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray;
I can never, never lose my way. (Refrain)

3 Let me love Thee more and more
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o’er;
Till my soul is lost in love
In a brighter, brighter world above. (Refrain)
