Still Nearer Thee

Verse 1

“Nearer, my God, to Thee,” Still nearer Thee, Thro’ Him who shed His blood Freely for me; Thro’ Him who loved and died Jesus the Crucified; In Him may I abide, Still nearer Thee.

Verse 2

“Nearer, my God, to Thee,” Thro’ Christ the Way, May Thy blest Spirit lead Me, day by day; Till, in my inmost heart, Thy word shall life impart, Knowing Thee as Thou art, Still nearer Thee.

Verse 3

“Nearer, my God, to Thee,” Thro’ grace divine, Taking my will away, Leaving but Thine; Till in my soul Thou see Likeness, dear Lord, to Thee, Thus may I ever be, Still nearer Thee.

Verse 4

“Nearer, my God, to Thee,” As Thou may’st lead, Thy all-sufficient grace Meeting my need; Praying that light divine May o’er my pathway shine; Not mine the glory—Thine— Still nearer Thee.
