Nearer, Still Nearer
Author: Lelia N. Morris, 1862-1929 Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration 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 offering 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;
Through endless ages, ever to be,
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: MORRIS

Take Up Thy Cross
Author: Charles W. Everest, 1814-1877 Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration First Line: Take up thy cross, the Saviour said Lyrics: 1 "Take up thy cross," the Saviour said,
"If thou wouldst my disciple be;
Take up thy cross with willing heart,
And humbly follow after Me."
2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight
Fill thy weak soul with vain alarm;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.
3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame,
And let thy foolish pride be still;
Thy Lord refused not e'en to die
Upon a cross on Calv'ry's hill.
4 Take up thy cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,
And lead to vict'ry o'er the grave.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ,
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
Amen. Used With Tune: QUEBEC (HESPERUS)

Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes. A-men.

For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears:

I Want a Principle Within
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: The Christian Way of Life Aspiration and Consecration Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within
Of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near.
Help me the first approach to feel
Of pride or wrong desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.
2 From Thee that I no more may stray,
No more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me the filial awe, I pray,
The tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make!
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.
3 Almighty God of truth and love,
To me Thy power impart;
The burden from my soul remove,
The hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
My reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again,
Which makes the wounded whole.
Amen. Used With Tune: GERALD
