1
\nNearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
\nDraw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
\nFold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
\nShelter me safe in that haven of rest,
\nShelter me safe in that haven of rest.<\/p>\n
2
\nNearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
\nNought as an offering to Jesus my King
\nOnly my sinful now contrite heart,
\nGrant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
\nGrant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.<\/p>\n
3
\nNearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine;
\nSin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
\nAll of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
\nGive me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
\nGive me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.<\/p>\n
4
\nNearer, still nearer, while life shall last;
\nTill safe in glory my anchor is cast;
\nThrough endless ages, ever to be,
\nNearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
\nNearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
