Where I Can Watch Prosti By Aubrey Miles

closer even closer

first Closer, closer, and set your heart
draw me, Jesus, through joy and pain!
Birg me out Grace in your tent,
umbrellas and protect me, Savior of the world,
umbrellas and protect me, Savior of the world.

second Closer, closer still! I have nothing here,
nothing tauget as victims, Lord, from thee;
oh, my heart is just a sündges,
Jesus, my King, O wash me in!
Jesus, my King, O wash me in!

third Closer, closer still! All in the death
I give willingly, my Savior and God, which inhibited
your blessings in me
worldly pleasures and earthly adornment,
worldly pleasures and earthly adornment.

4th Closer, closer, completely free,
until all its own struggle over,
up all my life and your reflection is
you, Lord Jesus, my all are to me!
And you, my Jesus, my're everything to me!

English:

first Nearer, still nearer, close to thy heart,
draw me, my Saviour, so precious Thou art;
fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast, Shelter me safe in
that "Heaven of Rest,"
Shelter me safe in that "Heaven of Rest

second 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 ant its pride.
Give me bur 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 cat;
through endless ages, ever to be,
nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to thee,
nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to thee.
