Intro:
G D C Am G
1. Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
2. Nearer, still nearer, noth–ing I bring,
3. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine;
4. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last;
C G Em A D D7
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Nought as an of-fering to Jesus my King—
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
G D G Am D
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Only my sin–ful now contrite heart;
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
Through endless a- - ges, ever to be,
G/B C G D Em
Shel–ter me safe in that haven of rest,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord cruci - fied,
Near–er, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
C G Eb7 G D G
Shelter me safe in that ha- - ven of rest.
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
Give me but Je- - sus, my Lord cruci–fied.
Nearer, my Sav - ior, still near–er to Thee.
