Nearer, Still Nearer - Ben Burkholder

Lyrics- Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart Draw me, my Saviour, so precious Thou art! Fold me, oh fold me close to Thy breast. Shelter me safe in that haven of rest. 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. Nearer, still nearer, Lord to be Thine, Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign, All of its pleasures, pomp and it's pride; GIve me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast, Thru endless ages, ever to be, Nearer my Saviour, still nearer to Thee.
