Nearer Still Nearer Lyrics & Chords

By Lelia N. Morris

(C)Nearer, still nearer, (G)nearer, (Am)close (F)to Thy (C)heart,

(F)Draw me, my (C)Savior so (Am)pre(D)cious Thou (G)art!

(C)Fold me, oh, (G)fold (C)me (F)close to Thy (G)breast;

(C)Shel(F)ter me (C)safe in that (G)“haven of (C)rest”;

(F)Shelter me (C)safe in that (G)“haven of (C)rest.” 



Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,

Naught as an off’ring to Jesus, my King;

Only my sinful, now contrite heart,

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart;

Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. 



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;

Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. 



Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,

Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;

Through endless ages ever to be

Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee;

Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee!
