Closer Walk with Thee

I am hap­py

O my Sav­ior

For I know that I am Thine

Thro’ the pure and per­fect cleans­ing

Of Thy pre­cious blood di­vine:

But my soul would rise still high­er

There are great­er joys for me;

I am long­ing

I am pray­ing

For a clos­er walk with Thee.

For a clos­er walk with Thee

For a clos­er walk with Thee

Savior come

ab­ide with me

I am long­ing

I am pray­ing

For a clos­er walk with Thee.

’Tis Thy hand

the clouds re­mov­ing

Scatters sun­shine o’er my way;

I am feast­ing at the ban­quet

Of Thy mer­cy ev­ery day;

But my soul would drink more deep­ly

At the fount of life so free:

O my Sav­ior

I am plead­ing

For a clos­er walk with Thee.

For a clos­er walk with Thee

For a clos­er walk with Thee

To the heights of sac­red rap­ture

That I nev­er yet have known

Let me soar away in tri­umph

Till my faith shall touch Thy throne;

In the wide un­fa­thomed ocean

Of Thy migh­ty love so free

Let the tid­al wave roll o’er me

Till my soul is lost in Thee.

Till my soul is lost in Thee

Till my soul is lost in Thee;
