English Lyrics
Verse 1
Nearer, still nearer, close Thy heart, Draw me, my Saviour, so precious Thou art; Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast, Shelter me safe in that haven of rest, Shelter me safe in that haven of rest.
Verse 2
Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Nought as an offering to Jesus my King– Only my sinful now contrite heart; Grant me the cleaning Thy blood doth impart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
Verse 3
Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine; Sin with its follies, I gladly resign, All of its pleasure, pomp and its pride; Give me, but Jesus, my Lord crucified, Give me, but Jesus, my Lord crucified.
Verse 4
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last; Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages ever to be, Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.
