Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #519c (1894) Meter: 6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour, Listen while we sing; Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King. All we have we offer, All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to Thee. 2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee, Deep in adoration Bending low the knee; Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die; Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. 3 Great, and ever greater, Are Thy mercies here, True and everlasting Are the glories there; Where no pain, or sorrow, Toil, or care, is known, Where the angel legions Circle round Thy throne. 4 Clearer still, and clearer, Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sins forgiven; Life has lost its shadows; Pure the light within; Thou hast shed Thy radiance On a world of sin. 5 Brighter still, and brighter Glows the western sun, Shedding all its gladness O'er our work that's done; Time will soon be over, Toil and sorrow past, May we, blessèd Saviour, Find a rest at last! 6 Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God! Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. 7 Bliss, all bliss excelling, When the ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgetting, Finds its promised goal; Where in joys unheard of Saints with angels sing, Never weary raising Praises to their King. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Saviour, blessed Saviour]
