Author: W. C. Martin Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #39 (1976) First Line: To Jesus ev'ry day I find my heart is closer drawn Refrain First Line: The half cannot be fancied this side the golden shore Lyrics: 1 To Jesus ev'ry day I find my heart is closer drawn,He's fairer than the glory of the gold and purple dawn;He's all my fancy pictures in its fairest dreams, and more,Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before.Refrain:The half cannot be fancied, this side the golden shore;O there He'll be still sweeter than He ever was before.2 His glory broke upon me when I saw Him from afar,He's fairer than the lily, brighter than the morning star;He fills and satisfies my longing spirit o'er and o'er,Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before. [Refrain]3 My heart is sometimes heavy but he comes with sweet relief,He folds me to His bosom when I droop with blighting grief;I love the Christ who all my burdens in His body bore,Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before.
