Closer to Thee (Ashley)

Jesus

draw us clos­er to Thee

Fill our hearts with joy and peace

Crown our wor­ship with Thy pre­sence

Bid us from all sor­row cease;

Grant us from our sins de­liv­er­ance

From all un­be­lief set free;

Come

O come

Thou blest Re­deem­er

That Thy glo­ry we may see.

Closer to Thee

yes

clos­er to Thee

May we ev­er still be cling­ing

Closer to Thee.

We would see Thee

bless­èd Je­sus

See Thee in Thy crim­son dress;

We would catch Thy smile

so gra­cious

We would all our sins con­fess;

We would hear Thy words so ten­der

Falling like the gra­cious dew;

We our hearts and minds sur­ren­der

Take them

Lord

and make them new.

Thou alone from sin canst save us

Thou alone canst cleanse the soul;

Speak the word

O migh­ty Je­sus

And we’re ev­ery whit made whole;

Now I see Thee

pre­cious Je­sus

See Thee as my sov­er­eign king;

Joy

O joy

I’ve found sal­va­tion

Heav’n and earth His prais­es sing.
