Closer, Lord, to Thee

Hymnal: The Crowning Day #5 (1894) First Line: On Thy bosom let me rest Refrain First Line: Closer, closer, Let me ever be Lyrics: 1 On Thy bosom let me rest, Weary, worn and sore opprest; Keep me lowly; I would be Still closer to Thee. Refrain: Closer, closer, Let me ever be, Closer, yes, closer, dear Lord, to Thee. 2 When the darkness gathers near, Banish ev’ry doubt and fear; Keep me when no dawn I see, Still closer to Thee. [Refrain] 3 Guide my erring bleeding feet To the fount of life so sweet, Keep me on life’s surging sea Still closer to Thee. [Refrain] 4 Tho’ I’ve wander’d far from home Never from Thee let me roam; Day by day still let me be Still closer to Thee. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 89:19 Tune Title: [On Thy bosom let me rest]
