Nearer, Still Nearer (lyrics) - Piano Instrumental

Author: C. H. Morris Verse 1/4: Nearer, still nearer, close to 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 2/4: 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. Verse 3/4: 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. Verse 4/4: Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till all its struggles and trials are past; Then through eternity, ever I'll be Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.
