31. Jesus, Draw Thou Near To Me

1 Jesus, draw Thou near to me,
Let me ever be with Thee;
Dwell, O Lord, within my soul,
Make it glad and make it whole.

2 Always Thee I have ion mind,
All my joy in Thee I find,
And my longings never cease,
Till in Thee I find my peace.

3 Earth no pleasure can afford
That can fill my heart, O Lord;
But if Thou to me art near,
Heaven is my portion here.
