Nearer to Our Savior { Nearer to Our Savior NEARER TO OUR SAVIOR-J. F. King Nearer to Our Savior } Nearer to our blessed Savior, Nearer to Him dat by day; Walking in His holy footsteps From His side we ca nnot stray. Now His loving voice is calling, Bidding to neare r come; Tenderly His hand will guide is till we reach our heavenly home. Full of joy shall be our praises, Sweeter be the songs we sing; As we day by day press forward Nearer to our grac ious King. Ever will the day grow brighter, Flee away the sh adows dim; As we nearer live to Jesus, As we closer walk wit h Him. If we humbly walk with Jesus, Trusting in His gr ace divine; If our souls, by faith, each moment On His loving arms recline; When our pilgrimage is over, And we bid the world good-bye, We shall dwell with Him in glory In a home beyond the sky. Chorus Nearer to Christ above,-This is the song w e sing, Nearer to Him we love, Nearer to Christ our King.
