Nearer, Still Nearer | Songs and Everlasting Joy

The words of this beautiful hymn came from the experiences of the writer. She was impressed with the drawing power of His love toward her personally.

May you also feel the drawing power of God toward you in your personal walk with Him.

Nearer, Still Nearer

Verse 1
Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Saviour—so precious Thou art!
Fold me, O, fold me close to Thy breast;
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest;
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest.

Verse 2
Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an offering to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart;
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

Verse 3
Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine!
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified;
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

Verse 4
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages ever to be
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee;
Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee!

4 am couldn't sleep ...pain...Prayed for Jesus to hold me close to his heart for refuge. Remembered this song so I got up and turned on the computer and found this wonderful rendition. Thank You.

This beautiful hymn doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves. It's been my personal favourite for years. Thankyou to those involved in this download. God bless.

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah to the Utmost high God

[PrestonProdger-jj]

Your channel has been a great ministry to my soul. Hymns have the ability to point me to the beauty of God in such a way that no other music can. At times I am overwhelmed with the majesty of God. He is so far above, and yet so near. The Holy Spirit is so gracious as to reveal the Father to us; he pulls back the veil from our eyes so that we may gaze upon our wonderful LORD in all his splendor. Nearer, still nearer to thee is the heart cry of every hungry soul.

This hymn is just so beautiful, and even mentions the blood, which many preachers today and also all the new version of the Bible horrendously leaves out! You sing it so beautiful, though many other great versions is out there. For instance Sounds Like Reign doing acapella in an old silo. However, where your online singing ministry excels over the rest is, that you sing all these old hymns in their beautiful entirety, not only the few verses, that you can agree with, seen from a denominational stand point. It often frustrates me, that many singers often leaves out the parts of these old hymns, which they just do not agree in at all. In the Bible there is no denomination, either we follow God's truth and worship Him in truth and spirit, as we are commanded or we do not! God Bless!
