LyicsSAVIOUR, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to thee;
Ever be a present friend,
Leave me never, never to the end.-REF.
Ev-ery day, ev-ery hour,
Let me feel thy cleansing power,
May thy ten-der love to me
Bind me clos-er, clos-er,
Lord to thee.
Through this changing world below
Lead me gently, gently as I go:
Trusting thee, I can not stray,
I can never, never lose my way.-REF.
Let me love thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o'er;
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above.-REF.
