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