Only His Love

Oh

to be near­er

near­er

The feet of my Lord and king!

Oh

to en­joy His pre­sence

And on­ly His love to sing!

Only His love

on­ly His love

Ever my song shall be:

His won­der­ful love

pre­par­ing ab­ove

A robe and a crown for me.

Oh

to be near­er

near­er

Communing with Him in pray­er!

Oh

to be strong­er

strong­er

My bur­den of toil to bear!

Oh

to be near­er

near­er

My re­fuge

my hope

my all!

Oh

to be al­ways rea­dy

To an­swer my Sav­ior’s call!

Oh

for a faith still bright­er

And clear­er from day to day!

Oh

to be more like Je­sus

In all that I do and say!
