I’m saved, O Lord, yes praise Thy name!
I would with trum­pet voice pro­claim
The bless­èd news! But I would be
Drawn dai­ly clos­er, Lord, to Thee.

Refrain

Closer still, yes, clos­er still.
Ever clos­er, Lord, to Thee,
Blessèd Sav­ior, I would be;
And ac­cord­ing to Thy will,
More like Thee I fain would be.

Draw me so close that I may hear
When Thou wouldst whis­per in my ear;
So close that thro’ all earth­ly noise
I clear­ly hear my Sav­ior’s voice.

Refrain

O glo­ri­ous Sun, I’d gaze on Thee,
Till I no oth­er object see;
And yet would plead, if ’tis Thy will,
Draw me a lit­tle clos­er still.

Refrain

No oth­er pray­er my soul can learn,
For Thee alone my soul doth yearn;
My pray­er through­out eter­ni­ty,
A lit­tle clos­er, Lord, to Thee.
