1 Nearer, still nearer- close to Thy heart,
draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast;
shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest,
shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest.
2 Nearer, still nearer- nothing I bring,
naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King-
only my sinful, now contrite heart;
grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3 Nearer, still nearer- Lord, to be Thine,
sin with its follies I gladly resign-
all of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.
4 Nearer, still nearer- while life shall last,
till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
through endless ages, ever to be
nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
1 Take the world but give me Jesus,
He who died, He lov’d me so;
Gladly now I yield earth’s treasures,
Jesus only would I know.
Refrain:
Take the world but give me Jesus,
That dear Friend who loves me so;
All the world I leave, to follow
Jesus thro’ this vale below.
2 Now I hail my gracious Savior,
Living Head and glorious King;
And for His redemptive favor,
All my gifts and pow’rs I bring. [Refrain]
3 Take the world but give me Jesus,
And my heart shall be His throne;
King of kings, and Lord forever,
He shall rule, and He alone. [Refrain]
