O, let us exalt our dear Lord and proclaim,
In songs of true gratitude, praise to His name!
As songs of the angels in sweetest accord,
Our thanks and our praises shall rise to the Lord.

Lyrics
Closer, Lord, to Thee I cling,
Closer still to Thee;
Safe beneath Thy sheltering wing
I would ever be;
Rude the blast of doubt and sin,
Fierce assaults without, within,
Help me, Lord, the battle win;
Closer, Lord, to Thee.

Closer yet, O Lord, my Rock,
Refuge of my soul;
Dread I not the tempestshock,
Tho' the billows roll.
Wilest storm cannot alarm,
For, to me, can come no harm,
Leaning on Thy loving arm;
Closer, Lord, to Thee.

Closer still, my Help, my Stay,
Closer, closer still;
Meekly there I learn to say,
"Father, not my will;"
Learn that in affliction's hour,
When the clouds of sorrow lower,
Love directs Thy hand of power;
Closer, Lord, to Thee.

Closer, Lord, to Thee I come,
Light of life Divine;
Thro' the ever Blessed Son,
Joy and peace are mine;
Let me in Thy love abide,
Keep me ever near Thy side,
In the "Rock of Ages" hide,
Closer, Lord, to Thee.
