Nearer to Jesus

Nearer

still near­er

close to my Lord;

I will seek Je­sus in pray­er and the Word.

As I draw near to my pre­cious Lord:

His Word has pro­mised His Spir­it out­poured!

His Word has pro­mised His Spir­it out­poured!

Each day I’ll fol­low His blest com­mands

Each day I’ll praise Him and cling to His hand.

Walking with Je­sus I’ll sure­ly find

All my de­sires in Je­sus are mine!

All my de­sires in Je­sus are mine!

Help of the help­less

my bless­èd Lord!

Caring for each one

in love watch­ing o’er;

Holy com­pas­sion guard­ing our way:

Jesus my Shep­herd

help me not to stray

Jesus my Shep­herd

help me not to stray.

Nearer still near­er

to end of time.

Speaking His gos­pel sal­va­tion di­vine.

Showing His way and do­ing His will:

Some day in Heav­en our joy be ful­filled!

Some day in Heav­en our joy be ful­filled!
