Near to Thee

Verse 1

Thou whose hand thus far hath led me, Whereso-e’er my path may be; Lord, I pray that Thou wilt ever Draw and keep me near to Thee.

Chorus

Near to Thee, O Lord, to Thee, Draw me ever near to Thee.

Verse 2

When the way is dark and cheerless, When no ray of light I see, May Thine arms of love and mercy Draw me ever near to Thee.

Verse 3

Thou in whom my soul is trusting, Hope of life and joy to me; While on earth a pilgrim stranger, Draw me ever near to Thee.
