1 Out of my sin and its bondage,
Thro’ Thy rich grace I am free,
But I am longing, dear Saviour,
Still to be closer to Thee.
Refrain:
Closer to Thee, closer to Thee,
Till in its beauty Thy face I shall see;
This is my plea,
Ever to be
Closer, dear Saviour, to Thee.
2 Walking each day in Thy presence,
Knowing Thou carest for me,
This giveth peace ev’ry moment,
Still I am longing to be— [Refrain]
3 Nothing can meet my deep longing,
Only to know that in me
Thou art each moment abiding,
And I’m abiding in Thee. [Refrain]
