Author: Jessie Brown Pounds Hymnal: Assembly Songs #27 (1910) Refrain First Line: Closer to Jesus, closer to Jesus Lyrics: 1 I want to live closer to Jesus,—
My vision so often is dim;
To look on His face and be filled with His grace,
I want to live closer to Him.

Closer to Jesus, closer to Jesus,
Closer to Him I would be:
To look on His face and be filled with His grace,
I want to live closer to Him.

For often I follow afar;
His voice I would hear sounding close to my ear
To tell what His promises are. [Refrain]
3 I want to live closer to Jesus,
Still closer and closer each day;
Till clasping His hand I shall enter the land
Where I shall be near Him for aye. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I want to live closer to Jesus]
