Closer, Lord, to Thee

Verse 1

On Thy bosom let me rest, Weary, worn and sore opprest; Keep me lowly; I would be Still closer to Thee.

Chorus

Closer, closer, Let me ever be, Closer, yes, closer, dear Lord, to Thee.

Verse 2

When the darkness gathers near, Banish ev’ry doubt and fear; Keep me when no dawn I see, Still closer to Thee.

Verse 3

Guide my erring bleeding feet To the fount of life so sweet, Keep me on life’s surging sea Still closer to Thee.

Verse 4

Tho’ I’ve wander’d far from home Never from Thee let me roam; Day by day still let me be Still closer to Thee.
