Come Closer, Soul, to Me

Verse 1

Methinks I hear my Savior say, "Come closer, closer, soul, to-day. Of all my fullness, come, partake, And I thy joy will perfect make."

Chorus

Come closer, come closer, Come closer, soul, to me; Come closer, come closer, Come closer, soul, to me.

Verse 2

Draw near, thou weary one, nor fear; I am thy portion, rest thou here; Nor let one doubt thy peace alloy; Abide in me, thy life, thy joy.

Verse 3

Come nearer, weeping one; my balm Shall soothe thy spirit with such calm; Look up with faith, I know thy grief, And I will give thee blest relief.

Verse 4

Come closer, fearful one, and hide Beneath my shadow; there abide Till the bright dawning of that day, When gloom and night shall flee away.
