[Verso 1]
O my Redeemer what a friend You are to me
O what a refuge I found
When the way was dreary and my heart was so oppressed
Your voice, it lulled me to calm and rest
[Verso 2]
When in their beauty stars unveil their silver light
Then, O my Savior, give me songs at night
Songs of yonder glory where my dear ones gone before
Sing out Your praise on that peaceful shore
[Coro]
Nearer, draw nearer
Till my soul is lost in You
Nearer, draw nearer
Precious Lord
[Verso 3]
Jesus, my Savior, when the last deep shadows fall
When in the silence I hear You
In Your arms reposing, let me breathe my life away
Awake in triumphant eternal day
Awake in triumphant eternal day
[Coro]
Nearer, draw nearer
Till my soul is lost in You
Nearer, draw nearer
Precious Lord
Nearer, draw nearer
Till my soul is lost in You
Nearer, draw nearer
Precious Lord
[Conclusi�n]
O my Redeemer what a friend... You are
O my Redeemer what a friend... You are
