CONFIDENCE IN HIS LOVE

1.Nearer Thee, nearer Thee,
   Let me follow Lord with Thee,
   In my pilgrim journey here,
   Thou art precious Saviour dear,
   Though the cross be hard to follow,
   Streams of mercy heal the sorrow,
   Nearer Thee, nearer Thee.  

2.Nearer Thee, nearer Thee,
   Let me follow Lord with Thee,
   Let me hear Thy whisper sweet,
   Kneeling at the Saviour’s feet,
   Thou hast made a rasomed race,
   Cleansed from every sinful trace,
   Nearer Thee, nearer Thee.

3.Nearer Thee, nearer Thee,
   Let me follow Lord with Thee,
   Can a mother her compassion,
   On her loving child forget?
   Yea, she may, but Thou canst never,
   Ought Thy loving kindness sever,
   Nearer Thee, nearer Thee.

4.Nearer Thee, nearer Thee,
   Let me follow Lord with Thee,
   For a better resurrection,
  Thou wilt come without delay,
   At the breaking of the day,
   Nearer Thee, nearer Thee

5.Nearer Thee, nearer Thee,
   Let me follow Lord with Thee,
  God shall wipe away all tears,
  Swallow death with all its fears,
  And a home beyond the veil,
  When my spirit wings the trail.
  Nearer Thee, nearer Thee.
