1 Nearer to Jesus, his precious blood
Resting upon me, a healing flood,
Cleansing me daily from sin’s dark stain,
So shall I ever new life obtain.
Refrain:
Nearer, nearer, nearer to thee,
Saviour, dear Saviour, Oh, help me to be;
Nearer, nearer, nearer, I pray,
Draw me still nearer, nearer each day.
2 Nearer to Jesus, that I may hear
Each whispered counsel, each word of cheer,
Hearing and heeding from hour to hour,
Seeking, when tempted, his saving power. [Refrain]
3 Nearer to Jesus in sunshine bright,
Coming still nearer in sorrow’s night;
When all that’s earthly is growing dim,
Upward, still upward, nearer to him. [Refrain]
