I Would Draw Nearer to Jesus

Lyrics by: Fanny Jane Crosby (1872)
Music by: Unknown ()
Tune: NEARER JESUS · 8.8.8.8
Scripture: Philippians 3:10

Verse 1

I would draw nearer to Jesus,
In His sweet presence abide,
Constantly trying to serve Him,
Safe and secure at His side.

Refrain

I would draw nearer to Jesus,
I would draw nearer to Him;
Fully surrendered each moment,
I would draw nearer to Him.

Verse 2

I would draw nearer to Jesus,
Nothing withholding from Him,
Knowing He loves to be gracious,
I would draw nearer to Him.

Verse 3

I would draw nearer to Jesus,
Seeking His strength to be true,
Willing to tell of His goodness,
Gladly His blest will to do.
