Lift me high­er, bless­èd Mas­ter,
Higher still in­to the light,
Up above the fear­ful sha­dows
Of earth’s sin and gloom and night.

Refrain

Higher, Sav­ior,
Nearer to Thy pierc­èd side,
With Thy lov­ing arms about me,
Let me ev­er­more abide.

Hold me clos­er, bless­èd Mas­ter,
In a firm and fond em­brace;
Let no sha­dows pass be­tween me
And the glo­ry of Thy face.

Refrain

Make me purer, bless­èd Mas­ter,
Pure in pur­pose, deed and heart;
May the pu­ri­ty of Je­sus
Of my own life form a part.

Refrain
