Closer to Thee

Hymnal: Pearls of Praise #157 (1893) First Line: Closer, still closer, my Savior, to thee Refrain First Line: Closer, closer, closer to thee Lyrics: 1 Closer, still closer, my Savior, to thee, Closer to Jesus my heart longs to be; Round me his arm, on his bosom my head, Near the dear side which on Calvary bled. Refrain: Closer, closer, closer to thee, Closer, still closer, my Savior, to thee. 2 Closer by day, tho’ my sky be all bright, Closer, still closer, when falleth the night; Earth has no spot where without him I’m safe, 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] Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Tune Title: [Closer, still closer, my Savior, to thee]
