301- Nearer, Still Nearer

Gospel: Consecration

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,
  • Nought as an offering 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.
