Author: Lelia N. Morris, 1862-1929 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Assurance and Trust 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;
Thru endless ages, ever to be,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee. Used With Tune: MORRIS
Nearer, Still Nearer
