Nearer, Still Nearer, Close to Thy Heart

Author: C. H. Morris Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #494 (1926) Meter: 9.10.9.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart, Draw me, my Saviour, 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 off'ring 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. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Christ Longing for; Penitence Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER, STILL NEARER

Person Name: Anónimo Vers. esp. of "Cerca, más cerca" in Himnario Adventista del Séptimo Día In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
