Nearer still Nearer close to thy Heart Lyrics (Key G)

m:d:f/m:-.r:d/r:l,:t,/d:-:-//

1. Nearer still nearer, close to thy heart.

Draw me my Saviour

So precious thou art,

Fold me O fold me a fold close to thy breast,

Shelter me safe in that Heaven of rest. (2ice)

2. Nearer still nearer, nothing I bring, naught as an offering,

to Jesus my King Only my sinful, now contrite heart,

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart DC

3. Nearer still nearer, Lord to be thine,

Sin with its follies, I gladly resign

All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,

Give me but Jesus, My Lord Crucified. DC

4. Nearer still nearer, While life shall last

Till all its struggles and trials are past, then this eternity ever I’ll be,

Nearer my Saviour, still nearer to thee. DC
