Closer to Thee, near to Thy side, Closer, dear Lord, I would abide; Hold me in Thy embrace, ???Neath ev???ry smile of grace; Grant me, Thy child, a place Closer to Thee. Closer to Thee, near to Thy breast, Closer to Thee, Lord, let me rest; Guide me when I would stray, Keep me from sin each day, Draw me, dear Lord, I pray, Closer to Thee. Closer to Thee, happy and free, Grant me, O Lord, ever to be; Hear me in ev???ry cry, Stand near when I must die; Then take me home on high, Closer to Thee.
