Author: Leila N. Morris, 1862-1929; Vicente Mendoza, 1875-1955 Meter: 9.10.9.10.10 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: Nearer, still nearer, close to thy heart (Cerca, más cerca, oh Dios, de ti) 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 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 Savior, still nearer to thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee.

1 Cerca, más cerca, oh Dios, de ti,
cerca yo quiero mi vida llevar;
cerca, más cerca, oh Dios, de ti,
cerca a tu gracia que puede salvar,
cerca a tu gracia que puede salvar.
2 Cerca, más cerca, tan pobre soy,
nada, Señor, yo te puedo ofrecer;
solo mi ser contrito te doy,
para contigo la paz obtener,
para contigo la paz obtener.
3 Cerca, más cerca, Señor de ti,
quiero ser tuyo dejando el pecar;
goces y pompas vanas aquí,
todo, Señor, pronto quiero dejar,
todo, Señor, pronto quiero dejar.
4 Cerca, más cerca, mientras el ser
aliente vida y busque tu paz,
y cuando al cielo pueda ascender,
ya para siempre contigo he de estar,
ya para siempre contigo he de estar. Topics: Death; Muerte; Entrega; Surrender; Oracion; Prayer Used With Tune: STILL NEARER
