LyicsSAVIOUR, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to Thee;
May Thy reconciling blood
Bring me nearer, nearer still to God.--REF.
Refrain.--Every day, every hour,
Let me feel Thy cleansing pow'r;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, 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.
