LET me come closer to Thee, Lord Jesus,
Oh, closer day by day;
Let me lean harder on Thee, Lord Jesus,
Yes, harder all the way.
2
Let me show forth Thy beauty, Lord Jesus,
Like sunshine on the hills;
Oh, let my lips pour forth Thy sweetness
In joyous sparkling rills.
3
Yes, like a fountain, precious Lord Jesus,
Make me and let me be;
Keep me and use me daily, Lord Jesus,
For Thee, for only Thee.
4
In all my heart and will, O Lord Jesus,
Be altogether king;
Make me a loyal subject, Lord Jesus,
To Thee in everything.
5
Thirsting and hungering for Thee, Lord Jesus,
With blessed hunger here,
Longing for home on Zion’s mountain
No thirst, no hunger there.
