Author: B. E. W. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #130 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.6 First Line: I would be closer, my Savior Lyrics: 1 I would be closer, my Savior,
Yes, closer to Thee each day,
Filled with Thy Spirit and power,
And walking the holy way.
Refrain:
I would be closer to Thee,
I would be closer to Thee;
Closer each day, my heart doth say,
Closer, my Lord, to Thee.
2 I would be closer for shelter,
Just leaning upon Thy breast,
Trusting my all on the altar,
Thou givest me sweeter rest. [Refrain]
3 I would be closer for guidance,
Oh, let me not go astray,
Feeling the blessed assurance
That brightens my hope each day. [Refrain]
4 Closer to Jesus my helper,
His merits I humbly plead,
Drawing from heaven my treasure,
The grace I shall daily need. [Refrain] Topics: Supplication Scripture: Jeremiah 30:21 Tune Title: [I would be closer, my Savior]
