Emily Hope asked me to arrange this hymn for part of a book she wrote. I'd heard it before, but never paid attention to the lyrics. The words spoke to my soul, and now it's one of my favorites.

LYRICS

​

Nearer, dear Savior, to thee, Nearer, nearer to thee. 

Ever I'm striving to be Nearer, yet nearer to thee!

Trusting, in thee I confide; Hoping, in thee I abide. 

Take, oh, take and cherish me, Nearer, dear Savior, to thee.

​

Nearer, dear Savior, to thee, Nearer, nearer to thee. 

Proved by my trials, I will be Nearer, yet nearer to thee!

Humbly I come to thee now; Earnest, I prayerfully bow. 

Take, oh, take and cherish me, Nearer, dear Savior, to thee.

​

Nearer, dear Savior, to thee, Nearer, nearer to thee. 

Let me by holiness be Nearer, yet nearer to thee!

When all my trails are done, When my reward I have won, 

Take, oh, take and cherish me, Nearer, dear Savior, to thee. 

Nearer, dear Savior, to thee.
