Nearer, Still Nearer, Close To Thy Heart,
Draw Me, My Savior-So Precious Thou Art!
Fold Me, Oh, Fold Me Close To Thy Breast;
Shelter Me Safe In That “Haven Of Rest”;
Shelter Me Safe In That “Haven Of Rest.”

Nearer, Still Nearer, Nothing I Bring,
Naught 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.

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.

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!
