Nearer to Him who hath died;
Nearer through crosses and trials,
Nearer the Crucified.
Refrain:
Nearer, nearer to Him,
Nearer to Jesus, my Savior,
Nearer the Crucified.
2 Nearer the fountain of blessing,
Nearer the soul cleansing tide;
Nearer the blood of the sprinkling,
Nearer the riven side. [Refrain]
3 Nearer to Jesus, my Savior,
Nearer, still nearer His side;
Nearer my blessèd Redeemer,
Nearer my shepherd and guide. [Refrain]
4 Nearer to robes of pure whiteness,
Nearer where loved ones abide;
Nearer the throne of His mercy,
Nearer the glorified. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Nearer to Him hath loved me]
