Author: L. R. Clark Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9390 First Line: Closer, still closer, my Savior, to Thee Refrain First Line: Closer to Thee, still closer to Thee Lyrics: 1 Closer, still closer, my Savior, to Thee,
Closer to Jesus now fain would I be;
Round me His arm, on His bosom my head;
Near the dear side which on Calvary bled.
Refrain:
Closer to Thee, still closer to Thee,
Dear Savior, I want to be closer to Thee.
2 Closer by day, tho’ my sky be all bright;
Closer, still closer when falleth the night;
Earth hath no brightness away from His face;
Time has no moment I need not His grace. [Refrain]
3 When to the Jordan of death I descend,
Danger I’ll fear not if Christ be my friend;
Breasting the billows, my death song shall be,
Closer, still closer, my Savior to Thee. [Refrain]
4 Closer to Jesus, I’m nearer to God;
Nearer the home of the Christian’s abode;
Nearer the great and the glorious Three,
Nearer to Heaven when closer to Thee. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Closer, still closer, my Savior, to Thee]
Closer To Thee
