Excerpt8 - Nearer, Still Nearer

Nearer, still nearer, I draw to Thee,
All through the offering that Thou gavest me.
Jesus my Savior, God’s only Son,
Paid my redemption; now barriers are gone;
Paid my redemption; now barriers are gone.

Nearer, still nearer, Lord, I would come
All through the merits of Thine only Son;
His perfect offering cleanses my heart,
Now to this temple Thy Spirit impart;
Now to this temple Thy Spirit impart.

Nearer, still nearer; come more and more.
Jesus my Master, I long to adore
Thee for Thy mercy, patience and power;
Thee will I worship, rejoice evermore;
Thee will I worship, rejoice evermore.

Nearer, still nearer, down at Thy feet,
Through Thy atonement my offering’s complete.
Sanctify body, spirit, and soul,
My all is utterly ’neath Thy control;
My all is utterly ’neath Thy control
