I Would Be Closer, My Savior,
Yes, Closer To Thee Each Day,
Filled With Thy Spirit And Power,
And Walking The Holy Way.
I Would Be Closer To Thee,
I Would Be Closer To Thee;
Closer Each Day, My Heart Doth Say,
Closer, My Lord, To Thee.
I Would Be Closer For Shelter,
Just Leaning Upon Thy Breast,
Trusting My All On The Altar,
Thou Givest Me Sweeter Rest.
I Would Be Closer For Guidance,
Oh, Let Me Not Go Astray,
Feeling The Blessed Assurance
That Brightens My Hope Each Day.
Closer To Jesus My Helper,
His Merits I Humbly Plead,
Drawing From Heaven My Treasure,
The Grace I Shall Daily Need.
