Nearer the Cross

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 215 hymnals First Line: "Nearer the cross!" my heart can say Lyrics: 1 "Nearer the cross!" my heart can say, I am coming nearer, Nearer the cross from day to day, I am coming nearer; Nearer the cross where Jesus died, Nearer the fountain's crimson tide, Nearer my Savior's wounded side, I am coming nearer, I am coming nearer. 2 Nearer the Christian's mercy -seat, I am coming nearer, Feasting my soul on manna sweet, I am coming nearer; Stronger in faith, more clear I see Jesus who gave Himself for me; Nearer to Him I still would be, Still I'm coming nearer, Still I'm coming nearer. 3 Nearer in prayer my hope aspires, I am coming nearer, Deeper the love my soul desires, I am coming nearer; Nearer the end of toil and care, Nearer the joy I long to share, Nearer the crown I soon shall wear; I am coming nearer, I am coming nearer.

We Would See Jesus

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
