Let me come closer to Thee, Lord Jesus,
|
|
| 1. | Let me come closer to Thee, Lord Jesus, |
| | Oh, closer day by day; |
| | Let me lean harder on Thee, Lord Jesus, |
| | Yes, harder, all the way. |
| 2. | Let me show forth Thy beauty, Lord Jesus, |
| | Like sunshine on the hills; |
| | Oh, let my lips pour forth all Thy sweetness |
| | In joyous sparkling rills. |
| 3. | Yes, like a channel, precious Lord Jesus, |
| | Make me and let me be; |
| | Keep me and use me daily, Lord Jesus, |
| | For Thee, for only Thee. |
| 4. | In all my heart and will, O Lord Jesus, |
| | Be altogether king; |
| | Make me a loyal subject, Lord Jesus, |
| | To Thee in everything. |
| 5. | Thirsting and hungering for Thee, Lord |
| | Jesus, |
| | With blessed hunger here. |
| | Longing for New Jerusalem's fullness- |
| | No thirst, no hunger there. |
