Nearer, Still Nearer
Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 217 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!

We give immortal praise
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 203 hymnals Scripture: John 3:16 Lyrics: 1 We give immortal praise
to God the Father's love
for all our comforts here,
and better hopes above:
he sent his own
eternal Son,
to die for sins
that man had done.
2 To God the Son belongs
immortal glory too,
who bought us with his blood
from everlasting woe:
and now he lives,
and now he reigns,
and sees the fruit
of all his pains.
3 To God the Spirit's name
immortal worship give,
whose new-creating power
makes the dead sinner live:
his work completes
the great design,
and fills the soul
with joy divine.
4 Almighty God, to thee
be endless honours done,
the undivided Three,
and the mysterious One:
where reason fails
with all her powers,
there faith prevails,
and love adores. Topics: Trinity Sunday Used With Tune: CROFT"S 136TH

Sinners, this solemn truth regard!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 81 hymnals Scripture: John 3:7 Lyrics: 1 Sinners, this solemn truth regard!
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. Topics: Holy Spirit Awakening. The Evil of sin; We must be born again
Sinners, this solemn truth regard!
