Nearer, Still Nearer

Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 213 hymnals Scripture: John 3:3-7 First Line: Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart, Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art; Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast, Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest,” Shelter me safe in that “Haven of Rest.” 2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King; Only my sinful, now contrite heart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. 3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine, Sin with its follies I gladly resign; All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride, Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified, Give me but Jesus, my Lord, crucified. 4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Thro' endless ages ever to be Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee!

Hear, all ye sons of men; For Christ, the Saviour, hath declar'd, "Ye must be born again." 2 Whate'er might be your birth or blood, The sinner's boast is vain; Thus saith the glorious Son of God, "Ye must be born again." 3 Our nature's totally deprav'd-- The heart a sink of sin; Without a change we can't be sav'd; "Ye must be born again." 4 That which is born of flesh is flesh, And flesh it will remain; Then marvel not that Jesus saith, "Ye must be born again." 5 Spirit of life, thy grace impart, And breathe on sinners slain; Bear witness, Lord in ev'ry heart, That we are born again. 6 Dear Saviour, let us now begin To trust and love thy word; And, by forsaking ev'ry sin, Prove we are born of God.
