1 Nearer Thee, my Lord and Master
In Thy service, glad and free,
Make me willing, swift and eager,
Draw me nearer, nearer Thee.

Refrain:
Ev’ry hour let the pow’r
Of Thy love so full and free,
Draw me near, Saviour dear,
Draw me nearer, nearer Thee.

2 Nearer Thee, O Christ my Saviour,
Thou didst die on Calvary;
Let Thy constant, perfect cleansing
Draw me nearer, nearer Thee. [Refrain]

3 Nearer Thee, my blest Redeemer,
Find some humble place for me;
Seal me Thine and Thine forever,—
Draw me nearer, nearer Thee. [Refrain]

4 Nearer Thee, O blessed Jesus,
Keep me very close to Thee,
In Thy tender, sweet communion
Draw me nearer, nearer Thee. [Refrain]
