Keep Me Near Thee, Blessed Jesus,
Keep Me Near Thee Lest I Stray;
With Thy Mighty Hand Uphold Me,
Lead Me Gently All The Way.
Life Without Thee Would Be Dreary,
Cheerless All My Path Would Be;
But While Walking In Thy Presence,
Heaven’s Glory Shines On Me.
Keep Me Near Thee, Precious Savior,
Many Snares Are By The Way;
’Neath Thy Balmy Wings Protect Me,
Draw Me Nearer Thee Each Day.
Help Me Live So Near Thee, Jesus,
That Thy Whispers I May Hear,
Let Me Feel Thy Arms Around Me
When The Hand Of Danger’s Near.
Draw Me Nearer, Blessed Jesus,
Closely Fold Me To Thy Breast;
Pillowed On Thy Loving Bosom,
Let Me Ever Sweetly Rest.
