Live Nearer to Jesus

Live near­er to Je­sus

Trusting ev­er in Him;

He wait­eth to free us

From the bond­age of sin.

Stand up for the Sav­ior

Stand up ev­er for Him.

In du­ty ne’er wa­ver

He is Sav­ior and king.

In His love we’re strong­er

In His strength we con­quer;

Trust in self no long­er

Trust Thy Sav­ior and king.

Live near­er to Je­sus

Ever trust in His pow­er;

Thro’ life He will lead us

Cheering ev­ery dark hour.

Stray not from His keep­ing

In Him al­ways ab­ide;

Joys con­stant­ly reap­ing

Clinging close to His side.

Live near­er to Je­sus

And His Spir­it re­ceive;

He’ll nev­er de­ceive us—

O

His pro­mise be­lieve.

Sweet is the com­mun­ion

Yes

more pre­cious than gold;

In heav­en­ly un­ion

We His beau­ty be­hold.
