Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #373 (2011) Meter: 7.9.7.9 with refrain Scripture: Psalm 51:2 Refrain First Line: Every day, every hour Lyrics: 1 Savior, 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 power;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.
2 Through 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]
