一 親近,更親近,近主心懷!
親愛之救主,引我近前來;
雙手護持我,靠祢胸前,
如在穩靜港,掩蔽我平安,
如在穩靜港、掩蔽我平安。
二 親近,更親近,我有何能,
有何堪奉獻,而承主恩情?
惟攜我憂傷痛悔心靈,
求主以寶血完全洗潔淨,
求主以寶血完全洗潔淨。
三 親近,更親近,我惟屬主,
罪惡與愚行甘心全脫除;
撇下罪中樂、驕傲、炫誇,
惟要得救主,誇主十字架,
惟要得救主,誇主十字架。
四 親近,更親近,終生親近,
直到榮耀裏,我錨已拋穩;
親近,更親近,永遠親近,
無論到何時,與主還相親,
無論到何時,與主還相親。
1. Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, oh, fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that "Haven of Rest."
Shelter me safe in that "Haven of Rest."
2. Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.
3. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine,
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign;
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.
4. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Thro' endless ages, ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.
