Assembly Songs #27
1 I want to live closer to Jesus,—
My vision so often is dim;
To look on His face and be filled with His grace,
I want to live closer to Him.
Refrain:
Closer to Jesus, closer to Jesus,
Closer to Him I would be:
To look on His face and be filled with His grace,
I want to live closer to Him.
2 I want to live closer to Jesus,
For often I follow afar;
His voice I would hear sounding close to my ear
To tell what His promises are. [Refrain]
3 I want to live closer to Jesus,
Still closer and closer each day;
Till clasping His hand I shall enter the land
Where I shall be near Him for aye. [Refrain]
