Nearer Every Day

To my bless­èd Lord and Sav­ior

As He walks be­fore me here

I am get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day!

And He says I shall be like Him

When be­fore Him I ap­pear

And I’m get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day.

Every day

praise the Lord

I’m get­ting near­er

And the way

praise the Lord

is get­ting clear­er;

From my Lord no more I’ll roam

For I see the lights of home

And I’m get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day.

To the pure and per­fect sta­ture

Of our great and liv­ing Head

I am get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day!

To the per­fect will of Je­sus

In the way that I am led

I am get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day.

To the time when I shall glad­ly

Lay my cross and ban­ners down

I am get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day;

To the time when from my Sav­ior

I’ll re­ceive a robe and crown

I am get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day.

To that blest eter­nal ci­ty

That lies just across the foam

I am get­ting near­er

near­er ev­ery day;

Often thro’ faith’s op­en vi­sion

I can see the spires of home

And I’m get­ting near­er

near­er eve­ry day.
