Jervis Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15380 Meter: 10.10 D First Line: "Nearer, my God, to Thee," this is my prayer Lyrics: 1 "Nearer, my God, to Thee," this is my prayer; Nearer Thy bleeding side, kept by Thy care; Nearer, my God, to Thee, whate’er betide; Nearer the saving cross, where Jesus died. 2 "Nearer, my God, to Thee," throughout each day; Teach how to keep Thy laws, teach how to pray; Jesus, dear risen Lord, this is my plea; Draw me, by love divine, nearer to Thee. 3 Fill this poor heart with love, this tongue with praise; So I may tell Thy power, through all my days; Daily my will and choice, I would resign Till all my life is lost, Savior, in Thine. 4 Then, when Heav’n’s glories burst all on my sight, When I behold the Lamb who is the light, Then from my raptured heart will burst my plea, "Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee."
