Each Day A Little Nearer

Verse 1

Each day in sweet communion, With Jesus now I rise, And find His service ever A glad and sweet surprise; Though what each day is bringing My soul may never guess, Yet to His cross I’m clinging, And on my way I press.

Verse 2

And day by day I’m learning That though my earthly way Is oft through shadows winding, ’Twill lead to perfect day; Each day I know I’m resting Within His sheltering arms; My heart, this thought enfolding, Is safe from earth’s alarms.

Verse 3

So trusting in His mercy And love so measureless, Each day my soul is fuller Of peace and joyfulness; Each day, while life is given, Still stronger would I be, Till from on high my Savior Shall say, Come home with Me.
