Nearer Still Nearer Lyrics & Chords
By Lelia N. Morris
(C)Nearer, still nearer, (G)nearer, (Am)close (F)to Thy (C)heart, (F)Draw me, my (C)Savior so (Am)pre(D)cious Thou (G)art! (C)Fold me, oh, (G)fold (C)me (F)close to Thy (G)breast; (C)Shel(F)ter me (C)safe in that (G)“haven of (C)rest”; (F)Shelter me (C)safe in that (G)“haven of (C)rest.” Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Naught as an off’ring to Jesus, my King; Only my sinful, now contrite heart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart; Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine! Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign, All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified; Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages ever to be Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee; Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee!
