Author: | C. A. F. |
Tune: | [Heav'nly Father, I would be] |
Composer: | C. A. Fyke |
1 Heav'nly Father, I would be
Just a little nearer;
I would all thy glory see
Just a little clearer.
Chorus:
Nearer, nearer would I be,
Just a little nearer;
Draw me nearer, Lord, to thee,
Just a little nearer.
2 Lest I wander, Lord, from thee,
Just a little nearer
May thy Spirit ever be
Just a little nearer. [Chorus]
3 Let thy love encompass me,
Just a little nearer;
Height and depth of love must be
Just a little nearer. [Chorus]
