125. Nearer, Still Nearer
Liedtext & Strophen
4 Abschnitte
Verse 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.
Verse 2
Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Naught as an off'ring 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory, my anchor is cast; Thru endless ages, ever to be, Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee, Nearer my Savior, still nearer to Thee.
