Savior, Brother, Friend

Author: William Bennett Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10364 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Higher, higher would I soar Refrain First Line: Oh, my Savior, brother, friend Lyrics: 1 Higher, higher would I soar, Rise where sin disturbs no more; Nearer, nearer, Lord, to Thee, Cleansed from all impurity. Refrain: Oh, my Savior, brother, friend, Let the cleansing showers descend, Let me all Thy fullness know, Let the healing waters flow. 2 Upward, onward, be my flight, Till the world is lost to sight; Heav’nward all my thoughts ascend, Till my pilgrimage shall end. [Refrain] 3 Onward, onward, be my cry, From earth’s cares I fain would fly; Pressing t’ward the heav’nly goal, To the haven of my soul. [Refrain] 4 Forward, forward, I will go, Gladly leaving all below, In the narrow, trustful way, Till I gain the realms of day. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: BALBOA PARK
Savior, Brother, Friend
