Oh, to
be
nearer,
nearer,
The
feet of
my Lord
and
King!
Oh, to
enjoy
His
presence,
And
only
His
love to
sing!
Refrain
Only
His
love,
only
His
love,
Ever my
song
shall
be:
His
wonderful
love,
preparing
above
A robe
and a
crown
for me.
Oh,
to be
nearer,
nearer
Communing
with
Him in
prayer!
Oh, to
be
stronger,
stronger,
My
burden
of toil
to
bear!
Refrain
Oh,
to be
nearer,
nearer
My
Refuge,
my
Hope,
my All!
Oh, to
be
always
ready
To
answer
my
Savior’s
call!
Refrain
Oh,
for a
faith
still
brighter,
And
clearer
from
day to
day!
Oh, to
be more
like
Jesus,
In all
that I
do and
say!
Refrain
