[Jesus, my blest Redeemer]
Nearer
Author: R. E. Winsett Hymnal: Songs of Praise #215 (1935) First Line: Jesus, my blest Redeemer Refrain First Line: Nearer, nearer Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my blest Redeemer,
Draw me to Thy dear side;
Tenderly give me shelter,
Let me with Thee abide;
Never forsake nor leave me,
Keep me within Thy care,
If Thou wilt lead and guide me,
I have no need to fear.
Refrain:
Nearer, nearer,
let me ever be,
Nearer, nearer,
Blessed Lord, to Thee.
2 Jesus, my blest Redeemer,
Thou art my only plea;
I have no other refuge,
So I will cling to Thee;
When the fierce storms surround me,
Billows are rolling high,
O Thou blest Rock of Ages,
Shelter till storms pass by. [Refrain]
3 Jesus, my blest Redeemer,
Still I will trust in Thee;
Friends may forsake and leave me,
True Thou wilt ever be;
When I shall reach death’s river,
I shall not be alone,
And when I stand in judgment,
Thou wilt claim me Thine own. [Refrain]

R. E. Winsett
1876 - 1952 Author of "Nearer" in Songs of Praise Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music.
Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory.
He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day).
Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children.
Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.
