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.
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.
