Closer To Jesus by Rufus H. McDaniel

The Savior is dearer to me every day,
The closer I live to Him;
And brighter His glory illumines my way,
The closer I live to Him.

Closer to Him,
Ever closer to Him,
I want to live closer to Jesus;
There's no one so precious, so faithful to me,
And I want to live closer to Him.

His service grows sweeter and sweeter to me,
The closer I live to Him;
And more of His goodness and mercy I see,
The closer I live to Him.

Closer to Him,
Ever closer to Him,
I want to live closer to Jesus;
There's no one so precious, so faithful to me,
And I want to live closer to Him.

His love more abundantly flows thro' my heart,
The closer I live to Him;
And richer the blessings that He doth impart,
The closer I live to Him.

Closer to Him,
Ever closer to Him,
I want to live closer to Jesus;
There's no one so precious, so faithful to me,
And I want to live closer to Him.

I'm longing the more in His likeness to be,
The closer I live to Him;
And surer I am that His face I shall see,
The closer I live to Him.

Closer to Him,
Ever closer to Him,
I want to live closer to Jesus;
There's no one so precious, so faithful to me,
And I want to live closer to Him.
