Verse 1
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.
Verse 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!
Verse 3
Yes, like a fountain, precious Lord Jesus,
Make me and let me be;
Keep me and use me daily, Jesus,
For Thee, for only Thee.
Verse 4
In all my heart and will, Lord Jesus,
Be altogether King!
Make me a loyal subject, Lord Jesus,
To Thee in every thing.
Verse 5
Thirsting and hungering for Thee, Lord Jesus,
With blessed hunger here,
Looking for home on Zion’s mountain,
No thirst, no hunger there.
