Savior, More Than Life

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1875
Composer: Howard Doane

Savior

more than life to me

I am cling­ing

cling­ing

close to Thee;

Let Thy pre­cious blood ap­plied

Keep me ev­er

ev­er near Thy side.

Every day

ev­ery hour

Let me feel Thy cleans­ing pow­er;

May Thy ten­der love to me

Bind me clos­er

clos­er

Lord to Thee.

Through this chang­ing world be­low

Lead me gent­ly

gent­ly as I go;

Trusting Thee

I can­not stray

I can nev­er

nev­er lose my way.

Let me love Thee more and more

Till this fleet­ing

fleet­ing life is o’er;

Till my soul is lost in love

In a bright­er

bright­er world ab­ove.
