<p>“Nearer the cross!” my heart can say<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer,<br>
|
|
Nearer the cross from day to day,<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer;<br>
|
|
Nearer the cross where Jesus died,<br>
|
|
Nearer the fountain’s crimson tide,<br>
|
|
Nearer my Savior’s wounded side,<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer, I am coming nearer.</p>
|
|
<p>Nearer the Christian’s mercy seat,<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer;<br>
|
|
Feasting my soul on manna sweet<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer;<br>
|
|
Stronger in faith, more clear I see<br>
|
|
Jesus who gave Himself for me;<br>
|
|
Nearer to Him I still would be,<br>
|
|
Still I’m coming nearer<br>
|
|
Still I’m coming nearer.</p>
|
|
<p>Nearer in prayer my hope aspires,<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer;<br>
|
|
Deeper the love my soul desires,<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer;<br>
|
|
Nearer the end of toil and care,<br>
|
|
Nearer the joy I long to share,<br>
|
|
Nearer the crown I soon shall wear;<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer;<br>
|
|
I am coming nearer.</p>
